Camp Lejeune Claims in Chicago, Illinois
Chicago's veteran community is anchored by the legacy of Naval Station Great Lakes (located 40 miles north of Chicago in North Chicago, IL) — the Navy's largest training facility, which has produced hundreds of thousands of sailors over the decades, many of whom subsequently served at Camp Lejeune. Jesse Brown VA Medical Center serves Chicago-area veterans with oncology and Parkinson's care, and Northwestern Medicine's Lurie Cancer Center provides world-class blood cancer treatment.
Chicago-area Camp Lejeune claimants whose cases are pending in the E.D.N.C. should work with Illinois-based attorneys who co-counsel with North Carolina-admitted CLJA counsel. The distance to Wilmington is approximately 1,000 miles, but settlements are negotiated by counsel without requiring claimant travel.
