Business North Carolina recently explored how the trend of helping those exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune is rising.
The article, “NC Trend: Law Firms Pour it on to Rep Camp Lejeune Plaintiffs,” discusses the legal race to aid those affected by their exposure and the amount of money being spent by some firms just to secure clients.
The publication, citing X Ante, reported that nearly $339,000 was spent on TV ads from June 27 to September 30 in five North Carolina markets soliciting Camp Lejeune claims.
Ward and Smith has not purchased any television ads. Business North Carolina noted the firm is relying on its reputation, relationships, and experience to bring Camp Lejeune clients to its door. From the article:
Ward and Smith, a longtime power among eastern North Carolina law firms, touts its experience and familiarity with military life in a blog targeting potential Lejeune litigants. The firm, which has five N.C. offices, is dedicating 10 professionals to the cases.
Ward and Smith’s website tackles common questions related to the litigation, including whether filing a lawsuit means that a veteran will lose other benefits. Answers from the firm’s Isabelle Chammas and Lynwood Evans are negative — the Navy has clarified that claims filed under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act don’t impact benefits or other VA programs.
