• December 1, 2024 – Court Sets Medical Exam Parameters, Government Ignores the Fundamental Purpose of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act

    The court overseeing Camp Lejeune cases has set clear rules for medical evaluations to ensure fairness. Plaintiffs must inform the government if their medical providers or experts are involved in their case, allowing the defense time to request their own exams. These exams are limited in scope and no invasive procedures like MRIs or blood tests are allowed and must meet federal standards. The same rules apply to both sides, ensuring balance in the process.

    Despite the Camp Lejeune Justice Act’s goal of timely and fair compensation for victims, the government has taken a combative approach to many claims. In one case, a lawyer asked to remove a severely ill client from the trial pool due to the stress it would cause, but the government opposed the request. Such actions undermine the Act’s intent to provide justice and relief to those harmed by the toxic water.
