Valor medio de la demanda por aborto espontáneo en Camp Lejeune - Pérdida del embarazo

For over three decades, the groundwater at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base was contaminated by the following chemicals:

• Tetracloroetileno (PCE o PERC) 
• Tricloroetileno (TCE) 
• Cloruro de vinilo 
• Benceno 

Where did these chemicals come from? There were many sources, including a local business that leaked tetrachloroethylene, a dry cleaning solvent, into the well water. Reckless disposal of industrial waste contributed to the problem as well, along with leaking fuel tanks. As previously stated, the U.S. military was aware of these unsafe practices, but focused their efforts on hiding the problem and denying assistance to injured victims and their family members. Due to their negligence, many of the affected residents and workers suffered from pregnancy loss, which can be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals such as PCE and PERC.

The PACT Act allows these victims to seek monetary damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, disability benefits, pain and suffering, and cost of mental health services. Our lawyers can explain each of these damages to you and help you calculate a fair amount of funds to ask for.

Lately, we’ve had many inquires at our law firm about the requirements that a claimant has to meet in order to qualify for a Camp Lejeune lawsuit. To be eligible for an injury claim under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act:

• You must have been at Camp Lejeune during August 1, 1953 to December 31, 1987 for at least 30 days.
• You were exposed to contaminated water during that time and had a miscarriage or loss of pregnancy as a result.
• You must not have been dishonorably discharged if you are a former military member.

You do not need to have served in the military to receive compensation, by the way. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows anyone who lived or worked at the base from August 1, 1953, to December 31, 1987, for at least 30 days, exposed to the contaminated water and suffered injuries, to file a claim against the U.S. government. If you are uncertain of your right to participate in the Camp Lejeune water contamination claims process, give us a call and speak to an attorney at our law firm.

Each case of pregnancy loss is unique to the victim’s level of harm and suffering. Thus, it’s impossible to quote an average value for a Camp Lejeune miscarriage injury claim. However, we can look at previous lawsuits involving fetal loss due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. Additionally, we will med to consider the losses that can be recovered on behalf of the expectant mother, which may include:

• Coste de los tratamientos médicos
• Salarios perdidos 
• Cost of mental health counseling / medications
• Dolor y sufrimiento
• Infertility, repeated miscarriages and other health complications

When the loss of a baby is involved, the emotional damages are especially relevant. It’s not unusual for the victim to develop serious mental health disorders, which require counseling and medication on a regular basis. Combined with all the other forms of compensation that can be recovered, settlements of $250,000 to $750,000 are possible in these cases. If there are severe injuries with long-term complications, a case may be worth $1 million or more.

At the end of the day, these are estimates that may or may not reflect the value of your Camp Lejeune water contamination claim. To learn what you can recover from a Camp Lejeune miscarriage – loss of pregnancy lawsuit, please consult one of our attorneys.

Timely payment of your settlement is understandably an important issue, especially for Camp Lejeune victims, who were denied care and assistance for so many years. It’s our understanding that the federal government is eager to resolve these claims as fast as possible. But you have to keep in mind that they will be dealing with a huge number of claims at once, so it may take a few months before they respond to your claim. Overall, we estimate that the majority of payments will be recovered within 6 to 8 months. But there will be cases that are much more complex, and those may take 2 or more years to settle.

Eligible claimants have a two-year window from the signing date of the PACT Act to bring a claim against the U.S. government. That means you have until August 10, 2024 to file a lawsuit and seek compensation for your physical and emotional injuries. Please note that it doesn’t matter if the fetal loss occurred many years ago. As long as you were at Camp Lejeune for a minimum of 30 days during the years of 1953 to 1987, you are allowed to file a lawsuit with the appropriate federal agency.

The important thing is to speak with an attorney and take immediate action on your claim. If you miss the 2-year statute of limitations for these cases, you may permanently forfeit your right to sue for damages.

The PACT Act will finally bring justice to countless veterans, workers, and civilians who were injured by or died from complications associated with contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. However, lawsuits against government agencies are undeniably difficult, and it’s essential to retain skilled legal representation in order to succeed in these cases.
