Camp Lejeune

From 1953 to 1987, service members, civilian contractors and their families living on Camp Lejeune and Marine Air Corps Station New River were exposed to harmful chemicals in their drinking and bathing water.

For decades, these loyal men and women who volunteered to serve their country were exposed to chemicals in the water that caused life threatening damages and deaths. And adding to the injustice, the Veterans’ Administration would deny their requests for help.

But there are options available. US Senate has just passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022. This will allow anyone exposed to contaminated water – including those exposed in utero – to file a claim in U.S. District Court for their injuries.

Here is just a partial list of the conditions and diseases linked to the Camp Lejeune water poisoning.

• Bladder cancer
• Kidney cancer
• Multiple myeloma
• Breast cancer
• Leukemia
• Myelodysplastic syndrome
• Esophageal cancer
• Lung cancer
• Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Female infertility
• Miscarriage or birth defects
• Renal toxicity
• Hepatic steatosis
• Neurobehavioral effects
• Scleroderma

If you or a family member resided, worked, or were otherwise exposed to water at Camp Lejeune, including in utero exposure, for more than 30 days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, and suffered from any of these diseases, you may be entitled to compensation.

We are claiming that the US Government was very aware that the chemicals they were allowing to spill into the ground could have serious risks to the soldiers and civilians that were stationed at Camp Lejeune. And, to make matters worse, even after the hazards of the chemicals were exposed, the Government continued to deny health care to the people that were affected.

Every case is different and the plaintiffs are going to do everything they can to fight these claims. That said, it is not uncommon for litigation to take multiple years to reach a conclusion. We will contact you as necessary when we need documents from you. But, during the early stages of the litigation, we will focus on building the legal arguments and expert testimonies. So, it may be a while before we need your input. Please be patient while we work through these first stages.
