Tampa veterans and families will learn about the Camp Lejeune Justice Act and how they might qualify for financial recovery for exposure-caused illnesses.

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, November 9, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Levin Papantonio Rafferty (LPR) law firm will present a Camp Lejeune “Road to Justice” Town Hall meeting to inform the people of Tampa, Florida, about Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Claims. The event is co-sponsored by the Magazine Law Group.

It will take place Wednesday, November 9, 2022, from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM at the David Barksdale Active Older Adult Center.
Admission to the Town Hall meeting is free.

“We are honored to step up and guide our Marine Corps veterans to justice,” said Magazine Law Group Attorney Jim Magazine. “They defended our country. Now, we’re here to defend them.”

Military service personnel and citizens who served, worked, or lived at the Camp Lejeune Marine Base between 1957 and 1985, could have been exposed to toxic drinking water and developed serious illnesses as a result of this exposure. These people might qualify to file claims against the U.S. government to recover losses from their illnesses.

“We applaud President Biden and lawmakers for taking this important step to consider the substantial harms people suffered from Camp Lejeune,” said LPR Attorney Brian Barr. “We are holding these Town Hall meetings to help those who served our country at this military base, as well as their families and civilians who lived and worked there, get the justice they deserve.”

To register for the Road to Justice Town Hall in Tampa, Florida, interested attendees can visit the Camp Lejeune “Road to Justice” Town Hall in Tampa, Florida event website.

Many of Those Impacted Don’t Know Their Rights to File Claims

On August 10, 2022, President Biden signed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, part of the larger PACT Act. The Act creates a path for victims of Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water to pursue litigation against the U.S. government.

Among those who could be eligible for compensation are:

• Military personnel
• Reservists
• Guardsmen
• Military family members
• Civilian workers

“After decades of ignoring warnings and reports about the drinking water contamination, the U.S. government has finally come around to do right by the people who suffered from this inaction,” said LPR Attorney Sara Papantonio. “Sadly, many of those who were exposed died from their exposure-caused illnesses. We want to make sure all victims know about their rights to file claims and to help them pursue the compensation they are due.”

Papantonio explains that victims have a short window in which to bring their claims. The attorneys will discuss this deadline and eligibility criteria and will answer any questions attendees have about Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Claims.
