Camp Lejeune Lawsuit

The Camp Lejeune lawsuit involves legal claims by veterans, their families, and civilian workers who were exposed to toxic water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina between 1953 and 1987. The contaminated water is linked to a variety of serious health conditions, including cancers, neurological disorders, and birth defects.

Health Concerns and Allegations

For over three decades, the water supply at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with hazardous chemicals, including trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, and vinyl chloride. These chemicals are known to cause cancer, liver damage, and other severe health problems. Despite evidence of contamination, those living and working at Camp Lejeune were not adequately warned or protected from exposure.

Legal Action and Compensation

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 allows individuals who were exposed to contaminated water at the base to seek compensation for the illnesses they developed as a result. Lawsuits are being filed against the federal government, seeking damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and wrongful death. The legal action aims to hold the government accountable for its failure to protect service members, their families, and civilian workers from this preventable harm.

Who Is Affected?

Anyone who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and has been diagnosed with a serious illness, such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, kidney damage, or reproductive issues, may be eligible to file a claim. Family members who lost loved ones due to these conditions may also be entitled to seek compensation.
