Camp Lejeune Claims in Houston
Houston's massive veteran community — anchored by the Medical Center district, which houses both the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and MD Anderson — makes the city one of the most important locations in the country for Camp Lejeune claimants seeking specialized cancer care. MD Anderson's dedicated blood cancer, urologic oncology, and neurological disease programs are among the world's best, and many of the most seriously ill Camp Lejeune claimants from Texas and the Gulf Coast region receive treatment there.
Houston-area Camp Lejeune claimants with pending litigation in the E.D.N.C. should ensure their treating physicians at MD Anderson or DeBakey VA are providing detailed and well-documented records of diagnosis, staging, treatment, and prognosis — these records form the core of the damages presentation in settlement negotiations and at trial.
