How long does the legal process take in a case of toxic exposure?

At our law firm, we offer you a unique level of attention. We hope that these frequently asked questions will help you understand more about the way we work and validate our passion for helping people who are going through difficult situations.



In a case of military base toxic exposure, the legal process can take several months to several years, as these cases are complex and numerous. Nevertheless, our attorneys will do all in their power to speed up the legal process, especially if you struggle with a life-threatening disease such as cancer.

You should expect to receive compensation within several months to several years

Due to our caseload, you should be patient if you filed a claim with our law firm, as it might take a few months to a few years until you receive financial compensation. There are many other factors that determine how long you have to wait until resolution, including:

  • whether you have a malignant or benign disease
  • how strong the association between disease and exposure is
  • the number of liable parties your claim is filed with
  • how big is our caseload when you contact us
  • the number of military bases you were stationed at
  • the toxic chemicals you were exposed to

Therefore, the legal process in toxic exposure cases is complex, and there are many key factors that can influence how fast your military base toxic exposure claim will result in compensation. Still, if your disease has a strong connection with toxic exposure and we have strong evidence supporting this association, you might obtain compensation earlier than expected.
