Agent Orange
Agent Orange is a toxic herbicide used extensively by the U.S. military to clear dense forests in the Vietnam War and the Korean War in the 1960s. These chemicals have been proven to cause serious and fatal diseases that take years to develop.
Thousands of veterans have already received compensation through the original class action lawsuit against the manufacturers of Agent Orange. Unfortunately, the benefits of the original settlement ended on December 31, 1994.
On June 9, 2003, a Supreme Court decision opened the door for veterans who have been diagnosed with an Agent Orange condition after 1994 to pursue claims against the manufacturers.
If you have been diagnosed with any of the following diseases included on the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Agent Orange list and you did not receive compensation in the previous class action, please see if you qualify to seek compensation for injuries resulting from Agent Orange exposure:
| Cancer of the Blood Cancer of the Bone Cancer of the Breast Cancer of the Bronchus Cancer of the Cervix Cancer of the Esophagus Cancer of the Kidney(s) Cancer of the Liver Cancer of the Larynx Cancer of the Lung(s) Cancer of the Nasal Passages Cancer of the Ovaries Cancer of the Prostate Cancer of the Skin Cancer of the Testicle(s) Cancer of the Trachea Cancer of the Uterus Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Hodgkin's Disease Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Multiple Myeloma Soft Tissue Sarcoma Adult Fibrosarcoma Congenital/Infantile Fibrosarcoma Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma Angiosarcoma Abnormal Sperm Parameters/Infertility Circulatory Disorder Cognitive Dysfunction Autoimmune Disease Liver Disease/Disorder |
