Veterans With Cancer Are Getting Answers At Camp Lejeune Town Hall Meetings

People attending Camp Lejeune town hall meetings will learn their legal rights under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act

Monday, December 12, 2022 - Town hall meetings at American Legion and VFW halls are taking place around the country sponsored by Camp Lejeune water attorneys looking to educate those injured by water contamination of their legal rights. the Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows veterans, civilians, and family members that were living or working at Camp Lejeune the right to file a claim for lump-sum monetary compensation to replace lost income, medical expenses, and the pain and suffering that they incurred due to their injuries. Most Camp Lejeune water contamination injuries include cancer, mostly kidney cancer, as water has to pass the kidneys, and toxins built up into tumors in the vital organ. Town hall meetings give military and civilian families hope to get the compensation they deserve for the military's negligence, carelessness, and recklessness in failing to warn them of the dangers of drinking tap water on or near the base.

York County's local Veterans Affairs office recently held a town hall meeting for veterans and their families on the topic of water contamination. Speakers told those in attendance about the Camp Lejeune Justice Act and how they might hire a Camp Lejeune Claim attorney to help them file an accurate claim. If their claim was rejected this time, they may be able to file a lawsuit and take the federal government to court. Camp Lejeune is located on the coast in North Carolina but veterans have mostly scattered throughout the country. During the town hall meeting, health officials discussed water contamination and its detrimental effects on their health including affecting women who might have been pregnant and given birth from 1953 to 1987, the period covered by The Act. The first step anyone who thinks they may be entitled to file a claim should take is to speak with a Camp Lejeune Justice Act attorney for a consultation. According to ChatGPT, "Attendees at the meeting had the opportunity to ask questions and to share their experiences with water contamination. Many of them spoke about the challenges they have faced in trying to get the help and support they need from the VA, and expressed frustration with the slow pace of progress in addressing the issue. One veteran, who served at Camp Lejeune in the 1980s, spoke about the health problems he has experienced since then, including cancer and kidney disease. He described the difficulty he has had in trying to get the VA to recognize the connection between his health problems and his time at Camp Lejeune, and the challenges he has faced in trying to get the medical care and benefits he needs." Other veterans and the survivors of those who have died from Camp Lejeune water cancer spoke and expressed similar frustrations with getting the VA to accept their claims. More than 5000 Camp Lejeune cancer claims have been rejected in errors and those affected should refile. People attending Camp Lejeune town hall meetings will not only get the opportunity to speak but also may make contacts with others that can refer them to a Camp Lejeune water attorney.
