Camp Lejeune: Fetal death claims

Exposure to organic solvents may increase the chances of experiencing fetal death

Also known as intrauterine fetal demise, fetal death is undoubtedly a tragic experience for any pregnant woman. There are numerous causes for this occurrence, such as placental insufficiency, fetal infection, placental abruption, genetic abnormalities of the fetus, and umbilical cord complications.

However, exposure to PFAS also has a strong connection with fetal death, which is why women who experienced this terrible event are eligible for compensation if they were exposed to these dangerous chemicals while they were pregnant and stationed at Camp Lejeune.

The most common symptoms of fetal death include:

• cessation of fetal movement
• spotting or bleeding
• the absence of fetal heartbeat

Nevertheless, a large number of women who carry a deceased fetus do not experience any symptoms and the death of their baby can only be found by using diagnostic tools such as ultrasound. Fetal death is diagnosed when the fetus has no heartbeat. If you were stationed at Camp Lejeune while you were pregnant along with your husband or by yourself as a female member of the military and experienced fetal death, we strongly encourage you to contact our resourceful legal team, who will go to great lengths to recover the compensation you deserve for your emotional distress if you are eligible.
