Veterans, reservists, guardsmen, and their loved ones who worked on the base between August 1953 through December 1987 were exposed to contaminants and other harmful compounds in Camp Lejeune's drinking water. Thanks to the PACT ACT, victims are now eligible to file a case against the United States to receive compensation and justice for their injuries. Now the next step is to start filing a claim for your injuries; however, the process for filing a claim and ensuring you get approved the first time around can be complicated, especially when the root of your injuries started so many years ago. This is why you need to work with the right law firm, but how exactly do you find the right law firm to handle your injury case? That's where we come in.

At Morgan & Morgan, we seek to ensure that our clients feel like they are family, so when you decide to hire one of our attorneys, they will get straight to work to help you and your loved ones get what you deserve. Our lawyers can help strengthen your case by gathering all the necessary information.

In addition to filing your Camp Lejeune Justice Act claim, we can also help walk you through the appeals process if the VA has denied your claim for disability benefits or health care coverage. According to the VA, in order to appeal the denied claim, you can proceed with one of the following options:
- Supplemental Claim: We can look into why the VA denied your initial application. We will also help you obtain any additional evidence and submit it.
- High-Level Review: We'll file for a review of your application by a more-experienced claims adjudicator. This works in the case that you believe your denial was an error but have no new evidence.
- Appeal to the VA Board: File for a direct review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) with or without submitting additional evidence. You may also request a hearing before the BVA, this is where one of our attorneys will represent you during the proceeding.
While denied claims are common, you do not have to accept this decision as final. When you hire the right law firm to handle your case, your Camp Lejeune water contamination attorney will not shy away from a complicated process and will work to help get you and your loved ones the outcome and benefits you deserve.
