Camp Lejeune Claims in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads
Hampton Roads is geographically and militarily adjacent to Camp Lejeune — many Marine and Navy veterans rotated between Norfolk-area bases and Camp Lejeune throughout their careers, and the two installations have historically had close operational relationships. The region's massive active-duty and veteran population creates one of the highest concentrations of Camp Lejeune claimants of any metropolitan area in the country.
Virginia Beach and Norfolk-area claimants must file their CLJA suits in the Eastern District of North Carolina in Wilmington — approximately 180 miles south of Virginia Beach via I-64 and I-40. Virginia-based attorneys working Camp Lejeune cases typically co-counsel with E.D.N.C.-admitted North Carolina attorneys. Patricia Nguyen's Arlington VA-based veterans law practice represents many Hampton Roads-area Camp Lejeune claimants.
VA Resources for Hampton Roads Veterans
The Hampton VA Medical Center serves as the primary VA healthcare facility for Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area. The VA Regional Office for Virginia's Eastern region is in Roanoke, but community-based outpatient clinics and VSO offices operate throughout Hampton Roads. Veterans seeking specialized oncology care for Camp Lejeune-linked cancers may also access the Sentara Cancer Network, which has academic partnerships with Eastern Virginia Medical School.
