Camp Lejeune settlements may range between $100,000 and $550,000 under the Elective Option. These payouts are based on a tiered system that takes different diagnoses and the length of time spent on base into account.
Tier-1 illnesses include bladder cancer, kidney cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Settlement payouts for tier-1 Camp Lejeune illnesses include:
$450,000 if you were on base for more than 5 years
$300,000 if you were on base for 1 to 5 years
$150,000 if you were on base for 30 days to 1 year
Illnesses in the second tier include kidney disease (end-stage renal disease), multiple myeloma, Parkinson’s disease, systemic scleroderma, and systemic sclerosis.
Payouts for tier-2 illnesses are $50,000 less than the amount awarded to victims with tier-1 illnesses within the same time frames.
An additional $100,000 may also be available for victims whose loved one passed away due to their Camp Lejeune illness.
