Rejected Camp Lejeune Cancer Claims May Now Be Accepted

Survivors whose Camp Lejeune Justice Act cancer claim was once rejected should not give up and refile

Sunday, November 6, 2022 - Thousands of survivors may have been frustrated in the past over not being able to file a lawsuit against the federal government in the past, but that is not the case now. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows survivors the right to file a claim for a lump sum of money, and if denied, they can use their same attorney to file a Camp Lejeune water lawsuit seeking reparations. Survivors may also be able to file suit against 3M, DuPont, and dozens of other companies that manufactured and sold firefighting foam to the Marine Corps and US Navy. One attorney recently wrote that the military may make a counteroffer based on the amount a person requests. If your loved one died from a type of cancer that is on the Veterans Administration's (VA) list of illnesses presumed to be service-related, receiving a lump-sum federal payout should be simple and straightforward. According to ConsumerNotice.org, CDC studies have identified about a dozen types of cancer as being presumed to have been caused by drinking Camp Lejeune taHodgkin. These are, "bladder cancer, breast cancer (in men and women), cervical cancer, esophageal cancer, hodgkin lymphoma, kidney cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, multiple myeloma, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, and soft tissue cancer." Thousands of claims like these were rejected in error in the past as not being on a more narrow list of cancer. ConsumerNotice reported "A report from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General said almost 40% of the disability claims from the North Carolina base were processed incorrectly." People may wish to refile those claims as the parameters for acceptance seem to have been broadened.

Survivors of US marines and other branches of the armed services that have died from cancer are looking for answers. Many have been left shaking their heads in disbelief when their loved one died from cancer after returning home from overseas duty looking and feeling in good health. Spouses, children, and siblings of those who died from cancer are calling their local VFW lodges commanders and American Legion offices asking how they might file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act claim. The best these organizations can do is to refer them to a Town Hall meeting on the subject of Camp Lejeune water contamination that may be held soon. US Marines, members of other branches of the armed services, civilian employees, and civilian contractors working on the base may qualify to file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act lawsuit if their initial claim for monetary compensation was rejected. All those who have passed through Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1987 and stayed for at least 30-days may seek lump-sum monetary compensation. Survivors of those who have died from cancer after serving at Camp Lejeune should seek the guidance of a Camp Lejeune water attorney to ensure their claim is processed properly the first time and that they ask for the maximum lump sum of money they qualify for.
