Protect Access to Justice for Veterans Act of 2023

This bill limits attorney fees for veterans pursuing claims related to water contamination at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. It caps fees at 20% of settlements resolved within 180 days or 33.3% for claims resolved after litigation begins. All settlement funds must be deposited into a trust account for the veteran first, with attorneys only paid after the veteran receives their full share. The bill also adds penalties, including $5,000 fines, for attorneys exceeding these fee limits or violating the trust account rules.
