Veterans/claimants stuck navigating opaque, politically-hostage legal settlements (Camp Lejeune)

Pain point

Claimants (and families) with legitimate toxic-exposure claims have no visibility into claim status, timelines, or whether payouts will ever arrive; they feel at the mercy of political whim and of mass-tort law firms.

Signal

Strong — 6.2K-upvote post, top comment 3.6K ("why should the outcome of an election determine when families get justice?"), second 1.8K. Single thread but very high engagement and a concrete, legally-defined affected population (~hundreds of thousands of CLJA claims filed). No "I'd pay for" comments present.

Opportunity

A claimant-side tracker/advocate SaaS: upload your claim, get automated status pulls/FOIA-style requests, deadline alerts, document checklist, plain-English explainers, and fee-transparency comparison of attorneys (take a referral or flat subscription fee). Feasibility: medium — data access is the hard part; the document/deadline/education layer is quick to build and sellable alone.
