Camp Lejeune Claims in San Antonio
San Antonio's massive military community — the largest employer base in the city — includes a substantial population of retired Marines and Navy veterans who served at Camp Lejeune during the contamination years. Brooke Army Medical Center (part of Joint Base San Antonio) and the South Texas VA have served many of these veterans through their cancer diagnoses and ongoing care. The combination of a large veteran population and world-class VA oncology resources makes San Antonio a significant city for Camp Lejeune claim activity.
San Antonio-area claimants filing suit in the E.D.N.C. are approximately 1,800 miles from the Wilmington courthouse. All CLJA litigation can be handled remotely by experienced counsel. Veterans in the San Antonio area who have not yet filed for VA disability benefits for Camp Lejeune-linked presumptive conditions should contact the Waco VA Regional Office, which has jurisdiction for the San Antonio area.
