You may have heard about the PACT Act (The Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act), which signed into law on August 10, 2022.

About Female Infertility

Infertility is used to describe a woman’s inability to get pregnant for an extended period of time when they are actively trying to conceive. If you are 35 years or younger, that period is over one year. Women over 35 years of age are diagnosed with infertility if they are unable to get pregnant after 6 months of trying. Additionally, women who can get pregnant but repeatedly miscarry can also be diagnosed with female infertility.

Various treatment options do exist, including in-vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and mediations that may help to restore your fertility. But any of these methods involve significant financial, psychological, and time commitments, with no guarantee of success. As a result, this condition can take a heavy toll on the patient’s emotional state. If the infertility was caused by exposure to contaminants, like the situation at Camp Lejeune, the victim may have to deal with other life-long health complications.

A Brief History of Water Contamination at Camp Lejeune

The water contamination at Camp Lejeune took place between the years of 1953 and 1987 due to a variety of unsafe conditions. These include leaking fuel tanks and improper disposal of industrial waste by local businesses. While military officials knew about these problems and how they were affecting the water supply, they chose to do nothing about it. Their negligence led to countless injuries and deaths from exposure to the following toxins:

• Benzene
• Vinyl chloride
• Tetrachloroethylene (PCE or PERC)
• Trichloroethylene (TCE)

For over three decades, Camp Lejeune injury victims and their family members were denied care and assistance from the federal government. With the passing of the PACT Act, this injustice will no longer be tolerated. If you are one of the many veterans, former employees, or resident of Camp Lejeune, call us right away and get started on a claim for monetary damages.

Where is the lawsuit filed?

All Camp Lejeune female infertility diagnosis lawsuits must be filed with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. That requirement alone makes these cases more challenging that the average personal injury lawsuit. You can count on our attorneys to take care of the entire claims process from start to finish, ensuring that you can focus on your health and being there for your loved ones.

Average Case Value for Female Infertility Diagnosis Camp Lejeune Lawsuits

Recovering a fair amount of compensation for your financial and emotional losses is of the utmost importance when you’ve been harmed by someone else’s negligence. As for what the average settlement looks like for these cases, that’s hard to say considering how recently the PACT Act was signed into law. But previous verdicts for these types of lawsuits have brought in settlements in the range of $150,000 to $300,000. Some cases may be worth over $1 million, particularly if the victim suffered multiple miscarriages or other severe injuries from contaminated water exposure at Camp Lejeune.

How long does it take to Settle these Cases?

Settling a Camp Lejeune injury case could take anywhere from a few months to a few years. As with most personal injury claims, lawsuits involving serious, long-term or lifelong injuries will take the longest to resolve. But even minor complications can add months to how long it will take to recover a victim’s payment. Our main priority is to recover your damages within 6 to 8 months, and we believe this will happen for the majority of claims. But case timelines may be extended due to various factors that are beyond our control. With that in mind, it’s possible that settling a Camp Lejeune lawsuit will take two years or longer.

Should I File a Lawsuit on my own or Join a Class Action?

This is mostly a personal decision based on the needs of you and your loved ones. There are different benefits to each of these options, and it’s essential to consider how they apply to your own situation. One of our attorneys can go over the process for each legal action and help you determine the best course of action. To schedule a free case review, contact our office as soon as possible.

Is there a Time Period to File a Lawsuit or Join a Class Action Lawsuit?

No matter what type of legal action you choose, you must file your lawsuit within two years from the signing date of the PACT Act. Essentially, that means you have until August 10, 2024 to seek monetary damages if you were diagnosed with female infertility from being at Camp Lejeune during the contamination period.

Keep in mind that the courts are extremely strict when it comes to statute of limitations. It’s very unlikely that you will be given an extension if you do not file your lawsuit in time. To start the compensation process and ensure that your claim is filed in a timely manner, talk to one of our attorneys without delay.
