GREENVILLE, NC—Ward and Smith is pleased to announce that litigation attorney Lynwood Evans has been appointed to the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in the litigation over contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
This appointment is particularly significant as we are quickly approaching the first anniversary of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. This legislation paved the way for veterans, family members, and workers stationed on the base between 1953 and 1987 to seek compensation and justice for their suffering. However, because claims of this nature have never before been litigated, there has been substantial uncertainty and limited progress made since the passage of the Act despite tens of thousands of claims having been filed. Everyone is hopeful that this newly appointed leadership structure will provide the framework for progress.
Ward and Smith’s entire Camp Lejeune litigation team is dedicated to advocating for victims seeking justice for damage caused by the water contamination.
