**NO FEE TO YOU UNLESS BENEFITS ARE AWARDED**
CAMP LEJEUNE WATER
The Camp Lejeune benefits are the single biggest, life changing benefits in the entire PACT act! Veterans and their families that stayed at Camp Lejeune for 30 days, between August 1, 1953 and December 31, 1987, are eligible to make a claim for any illness related to contamination in the water.
Those claims are:
Entitled to bring a Federal Law Suit against the United States for their damages – essentially creating an exception to the Ferres Doctrine that forbids any person from bringing an action for anything that happens while in service.
Gives two years from the date of passage of the act (August 10, 2022) to bring the action.
Entitles you to a jury trial in the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Entitles widows or widowers to bring an action for the loss of a spouse, no matter how long ago, if they passed from a condition related to the contaminates in the water.
The burden of proof is the same as in a disability claim, “As least as likely as not” – tie goes to the Veteran.
WHAT WAS IN THE CAMP LEJEUNE WATER?
Camp Lejeune water supply was found to have abnormally high levels of the following:
Benzene
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Tetrachloroethylene,
Perchloroethylene (PCE)
Vinyl chloride (VC)
These chemicals are known to cause numerous different conditions in humans. For any condition you can prove is caused by one of these chemicals, as least as likely as not, the government will pay you all damages it caused you, or will cause you in the future. It is not just the disability presumptives, it can be more than that.
