When Will The Camp Lejeune Lawsuit Be Settled? | Discussion with a Camp Lejeune Lawyer

Today we're discussing the Camp Lejeune lawsuit. We'll focus on the timeline of these cases, offering insight into how long the process might take before claim resolution.
The time it takes to settle a Camp Lejeune lawsuit is dependent on several variables, including when the claim was filed and the nature of the condition being claimed. Cases involving a presumptive condition might proceed more swiftly, given the already established connection between Camp Lejeune's water contaminants and certain conditions. Non-presumptive conditions, however, might require additional proof and consequently more time.
Upon filing a claim, it embarks on a comprehensive process, starting with pre-perfection where information is gathered and a claim number assigned. Once the claim is perfected, the statute of limitations pauses. Post-perfection, claims enter claim management, where issues like duplicate filings are addressed. After this stage, claims move into the adjudication phase and subsequently into substantiation.
During substantiation, often akin to a lawsuit's discovery phase, standing, causation, and damages must be established. Standing refers to your right to bring forth a claim. This involves verification of key documents like birth certificates, military or employment records, and death certificates in wrongful death cases.
Causation involves establishing the link between the sufferer's condition and the contaminants in Camp Lejeune's water. This stage involves scrutinizing medical records and expert opinions. Following causation, we consider damages or losses suffered due to the condition. This review involves medical bills, lost wages, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering.
After this, the evaluation of benefits already received is conducted. According to the Honoring Our PACT Act, any awards made must be offset by Federal benefits received from the VA, Medicare, or Medicaid.
While the timeline remains uncertain, claimants can expect correspondence approximately 6 months after filing a claim. Following this, perfected claim letters and substantiation requests should be received. Including negotiation time, the entire process might stretch to a year, and potentially longer if the case progresses to a lawsuit.
While it's challenging to provide a definite timeline for the resolution of a Camp Lejeune claim, understanding the process can aid in creating an informed estimate.
