Camp Lejeune Claims in Charlotte, NC
Charlotte is located in the Western District of North Carolina — separate from the Eastern District where Camp Lejeune cases are litigated. Charlotte-area veterans and their families must file CLJA suits in the Eastern District of North Carolina in Wilmington, not in the Western District courthouse in Charlotte. However, North Carolina attorneys based in Charlotte who are admitted to practice in the E.D.N.C. can represent Charlotte-area claimants effectively in Wilmington proceedings.
Levine Cancer Institute at Atrium Health is Charlotte's leading comprehensive cancer center and serves as the primary specialized oncology resource for Charlotte-area Camp Lejeune claimants. Veterans seeking VA services in Charlotte should contact the Charlotte Outpatient Clinic, which provides primary care and specialty referrals including for Camp Lejeune-related conditions.
