Why Do I Need A Lawyer to File a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit?
About toxic exposure of those who were stationed at Camp Lejeune, MCB, NC
between Aug. 1, 1953, and Dec. 31, 1987. Commercials paid for by law firms are a result
of Section 804 of the recently enacted PACT Act that provides comprehensive
toxic exposure benefits. This specific section of the law allows people to sue
the government for damages for individuals exposed to toxic substances while
residing at Camp Lejeune. These lawsuits often take several years to come to a
settlement, the attorney representing the claimant receives a substantial
portion of the settlement, and there is an offset of VA disability benefits
with any settlement that may be received through a lawsuit. VA regulations on
this are expected in the coming months.

VA Secretary Addresses Staff Shortages to Better Serve
Hawaii's Vets: As reported October 6 by Kevin Knodell for the Tribune News
Service, VA Secretary Denis McDonough testified on the island of Oahu on
Wednesday about the state of health services in Hawaii, including staff
shortages, women's care, and complaints from community clinic providers about
payments. Hawaii is home to an estimated 100,000 veterans spread across Oahu and
neighboring islands. All are served by the Oahu-based VA Pacific Islands
Healthcare System, which is also responsible for providing care to veterans
across the U.S. Pacific Island territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. "Health care of all kinds is
in short supply throughout the Pacific islands and Hawaii," McDonough
said. "We've made hiring and retention one of our top priorities, noting
that nationwide the department estimates it will need to hire 45,000 nurses
over the next three years.
