Houston TX Veterans - Did You Serve at Camp Lejeune - Your Right to Compensation

The few and the proud who sign up to fight for the flag of the United States enter an honorable tradition. These selfless individuals who undertake this endeavor understand and are prepared for the risks they face from external forces and enemies. However, what they may not understand is the risks they may face from within.

Unfortunately, all too often, those who risk their lives for the freedom of their country's people, at times, find the enemy closer than they imagined. One such example is the tragedy of Camp Lejeune. Unbeknownst to them, from the 1950s through the 1980s, Marines and their families living at the Camp Lejeune base in North Carlona were exposed to contaminated drinking water that included toxic industrial solvents, dry-cleaning waste, and leaking fuel products. If you are among these individuals and are experiencing adverse medical conditions due to your exposure, don’t suffer alone. You fought for us, now it’s your turn to reach out to the Houston TX attorneys at Carabin Shaw to find out how we can fight for you.

If you or someone you loved served at Camp Lejeune and is currently living in Houston, Texas, you may be entitled to compensation for any damages you have endured through individual litigation or a class action suit. You may be eligible to file or participate in a Camp Lejeune lawsuit if you:
