Basically, hedge funds and litigation finance companies provide capital to lawyers and law firms who in turn purchase ad time with the goal of eventually securing a significant return on investment based upon Camp Lejeune lawsuit payouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Large_Ad_Spend_Could_Backfire_with_Jury_Pool\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large Ad Spend Could Backfire with Jury Pool<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to advertisements seeking out people who may have Camp Lejeune toxic water injury claims, thousands of former residents of the Camp Lejeune military base, along with their loved ones, have been targeted on social media platforms with digital ads and, of course, encounter a barrage of lawyer ads on television.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intense level of advertising and targeted outreach carries the risk of potentially backfiring, especially if Camp Lejeune claims wind up going to trial. You may be asking yourself, \u201cHow so?\u201d Well, there is a point where people may begin to view the Camp Lejeune contaminated water injury claim process to be a racket, as opposed to a legitimate legal and administrative process aimed to compensate injured military service members and their loved ones. For example,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-camp-lejeune-lawsuit-racket-north-carolina-marines-chemical-exposure-ftca-trial-lawyers-pact-act-5892a96c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recently published an op-ed decrying the deluge of lawyer advertisements focused on recruiting Camp Lejeune clients and framed the claims process as \u201cThe Camp Lejeune Lawsuit Racket.\u201d If this sentiment grows and is embraced in the household of your average \u201cJoe Six Pack\u201d then the millions of dollars spent on advertising could backfire big time. The potential jury pool could become jaded and skeptical of agreeing to award damages to Camp Lejeune claimants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Jury_Remains_Out_on_the_Impact_of_Significant_Spending_on_Lawyer_Advertising\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jury Remains Out on the Impact of Significant Spending on Lawyer Advertising<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the potential risk associated with flooding the airwaves with ads targeting Camp Lejeune contaminated water claimants, the jury remains out (pardon the pun) on whether such a risk will come to fruition.
