Why Do I Need a Lawyer for My Camp Lejeune Contaminated Water Claim?
The U.S. Department of Defense has known about the problems with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s contaminated drinking water since 1982. But until recently, service members and their families harmed by exposure to volatile organic compounds in the water had no recourse. Now, with Congress’s passage of the Honoring Our PACT Act, which contained the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, veterans harmed by VOC water exposure can file claims for health care and disability and tort claims against the government.
Why Do I Need a Lawyer?
A Camp Lejeune claim is a complex toxic water tort suit involving potentially thousands of claimants across the country. As part of a lawsuit or claim, you’ll need to link your health conditions to exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune with strict eligibility guidelines set by statutes, courts, and the federal government. Navigating the procedural and evidentiary requirements for Camp Lejeune claims and lawsuits requires knowledge of the legal system and how to maximize your compensation. An experienced tort litigator, like the lawyers at the Madeksho Law Firm, can be invaluable in maximizing your Camp Lejeune claim.
