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:
