The only way that you or a family member can become eligible for financial compensation is to take the following steps to ensure that you or a loved one finally obtain some level of justice and compensation some 30 years after the fact.
1) Provide Documentation That You Were There. Did you or a family member work or live at Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River between 1953 - 1987 and reside on base for at least 30 days? To qualify, you must be a Veteran, family member, or contractor who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune or Marine Corps Air Station New River for at least 30 cumulative days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987.
2) Provide Documentation of Your Illness. Have you or a family member been diagnosed with cancer, a neurological disorder, or other illnesses believed to be caused by toxic contaminated drinking water from Camp Lejeune? Please see the list of qualifying medical conditions below.
Primary medical conditions and illnesses linked to this exposure include:
All who have suffered as a result of the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune deserve justice. You or a family member must take the above steps to be considered for financial compensation.
Note: When submitting your application, list one or more of the probable Camp Lejeune ailments and attach supporting documentation (such as a doctor's report or test findings).
It has been reported that for over three decades, over 70 different carcinogenic chemicals leaked into the groundwater via on-base industrial activities, on-base waste disposal sites, an off-base dry-cleaning facility, and underground storage tanks, causing exposure to a combination of TCE, PCE, DCE, Vinyl Chloride and Benzene.
You may be eligible for compensation through the Camp Lejeune Justice Act if:
Deceased individuals, regardless of how long ago they passed away, can also qualify for a claim through their family and/or representative. Their family may still recover if the death was related to the contaminated water.
One example of the damage that was done by Camp Lejeune contamination is Janey, a girl who grew up on the base and died of cancer at age nine. The Janey Ensminger Act is one of several government measures passed since the link between these illnesses and the contamination was established. If you believe you or a loved one qualifies for benefits but were denied your benefits, it may be time to seek the help of a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawyer at DeMayo Law Group, PLLC. If we review your claim and determine that you qualify for benefits, we will fight to get you the compensation you need to cover your expenses.
In addition, you need to prove that you have medical expenses associated with a qualifying condition. Usually, this means that you must show medical records for the applicable dates.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 covers all medical conditions linked to contaminated drinking water exposure. This includes cancers, neurological conditions, infertility and miscarriages, and myelodysplastic syndromes, among many others.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act provides for lump sum compensation regardless of any other benefits you receive. Taking advantage of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act will NOT affect your other benefits.
It will cost you nothing in attorney's fees or expenses to file a claim unless we recover for you. Our firm handles all claims involving water contamination at Camp Lejeune on a contingency fee basis. This means you will never receive a bill for our services. You will only pay an attorney fee if we recover for you on your claim. In any case, you will not have to pay anything out of pocket, and we will only collect a fee once we recover just compensation.
The pollutants identified in Camp Lejeune water include:
These chemicals are colorless and deadly, and they should never be consumed.
Many people, including veterans' organizations that have been fighting for justice for Camp Lejeune Marines for decades, insist that the military knew of the pollution for many years before it quietly began closing the most contaminated wells in the mid-to-late 1980s. Moreover, many insist that, even after that time, contamination persisted in some active wells. There is reason to believe this is unfortunately true.
Generally, we tell clients to stay away from attorneys that give them estimates on the value of their cases because there are so many unknown factors at the onset of any case. The ability to know the value of any case at the start of any Litigation is akin to predicting the future. Factors that will impact the values of the Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Contamination Lawsuit claims can include Cancer type or types, the length of the treatment or suffering, the documented Health Care and Family impact, the 'Damages' connected to the health concerns, pain and measurable suffering, and the implications for family members in the case of Wrongful Death claims.
While we can't predict the future, several of the lawyers responsible for passing the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, are on record for predicting average settlement amounts on Camp Lejeune Cancer Cases of between $167,323.00 - $575,000.00 as the average. Remember this is only an estimated value from one group of lawyers. Our team of dedicated North Carolina Attorneys will not and cannot predict or guarantee results on any future claims but will seek to obtain the best results for everyone we represent!
Most Mass Torts, or 'MDLs' (Multi-District Litigation) as they are commonly referred to, are subject to techniques and mechanisms that allow many large national Plaintiffs firms to consolidate their efforts and resources to help the common good. Law firms share their resources and knowledge to aid all individuals making claims. While these are common and have been employed with different degrees of success in Roundup, 3M, Boy Scout Abuse, Talc, and other ongoing litigation, Camp Lejeune Litigation is different.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 specifically limits the remedies to individual lawsuits in the E.D.N.C. We are North Carolina lawyers who have practiced and lived in this state for over 30 years. We understand and recognize the state and local rules and know what will be required to litigate these cases. DeMayo Law Group, PLLC, a multistate law firm, has a dedicated group of over 106 North Carolina lawyers, paralegals, and medical professionals to provide the best possible outcomes on each individual North Carolina Case. Our goal and objective are to focus on delivering exceptional results and verdicts for Marines and their family members so we positively impact this litigation for all claimants.
