Military bases toxic exposure

Toxic exposure at U.S. military bases affects active-duty service members and veterans. Exposure to human carcinogens has been linked to cancer and other serious illnesses that can take years to develop after the initial exposure to hazardous agents.

To file a claim for toxic exposure on military bases, you will have to retrieve your military records if you are a veteran. This will speed up the legal process for our attorneys, and you will obtain compensation within a shorter time. This will speed up the legal process and help you obtain compensation within a shorter time.

Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for a VA disability claim, a personal injury claim against the manufacturers of the products that caused your exposure, or both, and family members of personnel stationed at an affected base may also have options for benefits and compensation.

In order for a VA disability claim to succeed, veterans exposed to toxic substances while on active duty must provide evidence of a diagnosed medical condition along with supporting evidence connecting that condition to in-service exposure, plus documentation showing a period of active duty service. A personal injury claim works differently and generally requires evidence connecting your diagnosis to a specific product or contaminant used on the base where you served.
