When dealing with Agent Orange claims, it's best to contact a lawyer
April 9, 2004

Q: Do you know of any sites or sources for assistance with Agent Orange claims? I recently completed two years of treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I am currently in remission; however, I have several thousand dollars of medical bills not covered by insurance. I am registered and "qualified" with the VA but I have been basically stonewalled with requests for assistance with these bills.

A: I have no experience whatsoever with medical claims resulting from Agent Orange. The only advice I can give would be to contact a lawyer. I have no idea if there are any class action suits pending regarding Agent Orange or what your legal options are. You may also want to contact your congressman or senator who may be able to point you in the right direction. I would welcome any readers to write in with suggestions who have had similar medical claims' problems due from exposure to Agent Orange.
