Our diligent attorneys can assist you in filing your Camp Lejeune toxic water claim

Our attorneys have the necessary experience, knowledge, and resources to help you file a Camp Lejeune water contamination claim, as many of our clients are Marines injured by toxic exposure in the military. The legal process is simple and will mostly take place over the phone. As a Veteran Marine, the only documents we will need are your military records, which you must retrieve, and your medical records with your diagnosis. Family members who intend to seek compensation will have to submit evidence of their stay at the military base in addition to their medical records.

After a comprehensive evaluation of your case, we will let you know if you are eligible to file a claim. If you are, we will promptly begin working on it, as we are well aware that many toxic exposure victims struggle financially due to the cost of treatment, which can be very expensive. If you are too ill to participate in the legal process, a family member can help you, and our compassionate legal team will also go to great lengths to make it easy to navigate. We work on a contingency fee basis, so you will not have to pay anything unless we recover money for you.
