Agent Orange Lawsuits:
Although the Vietnam war is over, the lasting effects of chemicals used during the war continue. If you or a loved one is a Vietnam Veteran who was exposed to Agent Orange during duty, you may be eligible for financial compensation even if your claim has been denied by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA).

Below you will find a complete list of locations that Agent Orange was used and came into contact with our servicemen and women. Vets who have been diagnosed with ischemic heart disease, chronic lymphatic leukemia, chronic B-cell Leukemia, hairy cell leukemia, Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses may have been caused by Agent Orange.
