Many veterans and their families were exposed to an excess of chemicals at Camp Lejeune and the MCAS New River Marine Corps Air Station. After decades of fighting for compensation, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act was recently passed, allowing veterans and their families to receive meaningful compensation for their injuries.
Now, there’s a fund for Camp Lejeune victims and a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit that’s being pushed forward. But why file a lawsuit instead of going through a settlement fund?
Matt Dolman says that it’s based on the level of damages associated with different medical conditions. People with harsh diseases such as esophageal, kidney, or colon cancer are pushing for the lawsuit to receive the appropriate compensation for their conditions.
To further explain, Stan Gipe breaks it down into three compensation layers: the first two layers, which are medical care and veteran disability benefits, are previously established forms of compensation. The third and newest layer puts real, meaningful compensation into veterans’ pockets that pays reparations for how their lives have been changed.
So it’s now possible to file Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuits and receive compensation…but what should you look for in a lawyer?
Despite all of the commercials and advertisements, it’s important to go with a firm that understands the nuances of these cases and puts you at the front of the line to receive compensation. Additionally, the firm should have the necessary resources and be affiliated with either the local counsel in North Carolina or on a national level, like Dolman Law Group.
