Camp LeJeune Elective Settlement Option by DoD & Navy

Informações:

Synopsis

Attorney Catherine Groll, a litigation partner with the Mike Cox Law Firm, talks about the Camp LeJeune Justice Act, the administrative claims process, and the Department of Defense & Navy's new "Public Guidance on Elective Option for CLJA Claims". The DoD created a matrix so veterans exposed to the Camp Lejeune contaminated water could evaluate whether settling and avoiding litigation is the better route. Groll talks to host Jim Fausone about the inherent problems in the Elective Option and the traps for the unwary veteran. DoD dangles up to $550,000 in front of Marine veterans as it hopes to start settling the over 100,000 claims that have already been filed.
