Understandably, victims want to know how much their Camp Lejeune settlement might be. Any injury victim or wrongful death survivor has this settlement question in any case. But it is even more pronounced here because settlement amounts are a greater mystery. We have a sample size of one for these one-of-a-kind lawsuits.
Some lawyers online post settlement amount projections. Truth be told, most are doing it because they see our law firm doing it. It is a copycat industry. But they do not explain the thinking behind their settlement payout predictions (often because they have no thinking).
This post is about including you in our thinking on settlement amounts and, just as importantly, how we think the government will determine settlement offers. It is a bit of a limb because no one knows how the Camp Lejeune lawsuits will play out. But history typically repeats itself so we will look for patterns and how they might repeat themselves in this context.
