The Compensation You May Receive for Lung Cancer Due to Water Contamination at Camp Lejeune
If your lung cancer is determined to be connected to the time you spent at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, you may receive compensation for the following damages:
Income Loss
The debilitating effects of lung cancer may have prevented you from working. You likely needed to take time away to attend doctor’s appointments and recover from treatment.
The income you lost during that time is compensable. If you had to change careers due to your illness, the income differential is something you could be compensated for, as is a total loss of income, if you are unable to work at all.
Medical Costs
For a sickness such as lung cancer, medical expenses build up quickly. Any costs that you incurred because of your condition may be compensable. Those costs may include medical specialists, treatment, rehabilitation, short- or long-term care, in-home care, transportation, lodging, or other items specific to your needs.
Pain and Suffering
You may be compensated for the physical pain and suffering you experience from your cancer now, and for what you may expect to suffer in the future.
Loss of a Loved One
If you have lost a loved one to lung cancer associated with exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, please accept our condolences. Although we understand that there’s no way to change what happened, you may be eligible for compensation. Our attorneys will discuss how that applies to your specific case during your initial consultation.
Generally, you may be compensated for the loss of financial support, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, loss of parental guidance and support, medical costs prior to death, and funeral and burial expenses.
