We offer a free consultation as a time for you to share your story and get your questions answered, and you pay no attorneys’ fees until we win a compensation settlement or verdict for you. We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you do not owe your legal team any payment until your case is won.

How Much Time Do You Have To File a Camp Lejeune Lung Cancer Lawsuit?

Generally, a lawsuit must be filed within two years of the passing of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022. This generally gives Camp Lejeune victims until August 2024 to file a lawsuit.

That timeframe may be different for you, depending on the details of your case. Our attorneys will review the statute of limitations as it applies to your case and explain when we must file your lawsuit.

Individuals Who May Be Eligible for Camp Lejeune Lung Cancer Compensation

Individuals who spent at least 30 days at Camp Lejeune between August 1953 and December 1987 and developed lung cancer may be eligible for compensation. This includes service members, the family of service members, visitors to Camp Lejeune, vendors, civilians, reservists, or anyone else who spent at least 30 days at Camp Lejeune.

You may also be able to claim compensation for a loved one who passed away due to lung cancer caused by Camp Lejeune water contamination.

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.
