Protect Camp Lejeune VETS Act
HR 925, the Protect Camp Lejeune VETS Act, caps attorney fees for legal claims related to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. It limits fees to 12% of administrative claim payments or 17% of court judgments/settlements, prohibits additional costs, and requires attorneys to certify fee amounts. The bill also mandates the Secretary of the Navy to issue claim documentation guidance within 30 days and a compensation schedule within 180 days. These provisions apply to all pending and future cases under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, ensuring transparency through annual fee reporting to Congress.
