Hundreds Of Thousands Of Veterans And Civilians Exposed To Toxic Chemicals

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act has now been signed into law, allowing veterans, military families, and staff who were exposed to toxic water at Camp Lejeune between 1953-1987 the ability to recover millions of dollars in compensation

VOCs Discovered In Drinking Water At Camp Lejeune

In 1982, the Marine Corps discovered the presence of volatile organic compounds in the drinking water in two of the eight water treatment plants on the base due to leaking underground water storage tanks and water disposal tanks.

During routine testing of the water sources, found contamination with benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE) or perchloroethylene (PCE), and vinyl chloride (VC), all known to be cancer-causing or harmful to humans. In some cases, contaminants were found up to 300 times the acceptable levels.

This contamination began in the early 1950s. In 1985, most of these wells had been shut down. However, many veterans, family members, and civilians have developed serious medical conditions after prior exposure to these dangerous contaminants.

VA: Evidence Shows Association Between Contamination And Later Health Risks

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, scientific research and medical studies show an association between the exposure to contaminants in the drinking water during military service at both Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River, North Carolina to the development of later diseases.

Multiple Health Problems Associated With Contaminated Water At Camp Lejeune

Veterans, their families, and civilians who worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 have been potentially exposed to these dangerous contaminants, which can increase the risk of developing numerous medical conditions, including:

  • Bladder cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Child born with birth defects/congenital anomaly
  • Esophageal cancer
  • Female infertility
  • Hepatic steatosis
  • Kidney cancer
  • Leukemia
  • Lung cancer
  • Miscarriage
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes
  • Neurobehavioral effects
  • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Renal toxicity
  • Scleroderma
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Other health conditions

QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION

New Bill Extends Time Frame Of Lawsuits

Under North Carolina’s “statute of repose,” all claims against a polluter must be made within ten years of the polluting activity. Under this law, many cancer-related claims against the government have been dismissed over the years. Medical conditions from exposure can take decades to develop.

However, a new bill would allow these claims to move forward so that veterans and family members can seek justice and compensation. Without this bill, many veterans and family members have had their claims unfairly denied.

Camp Lejeune Justice Act Of 2022

Earlier this year, Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA) sponsored the bipartisan Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, which passed in the House of Representatives on March 4, 2002.

The bill would waive North Carolina’s statute of repose so that individuals who worked, lived, or were exposed in utero to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, would be eligible to file a claim in U.S. Federal Court and potentially recover damages.

The bill now awaits a vote in the Senate, where it is part of the Honoring Our PACT Act, a more extensive bill for veterans exposed to toxic chemicals.

If You Or A Loved One Developed Health Conditions After Living, Working, Or Being Exposed In Utero To Contaminated Drinking Water At Camp Lejeune, You May Be Eligible For Compensation. Our Quick Process Can Determine If You May Be Eligible To Qualify Today.
