Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit

Water at Camp Lejeune Linked to Cancer

In 1982, the U.S. Marine Corps discovered the drinking water at the Camp Lejeune Base in Jacksonville, North Carolina, was contaminated by various Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

The harmful chemicals found at Camp Lejeune include:

• Benzene
• Tetrachloroethylene/Perchloroethylene (PCE)
• Trichloroethylene (TCE)
• Vinyl Chloride (VC)
• Elemental Mercury

The contamination is believed to stem from underground storage leaks, industrial spills, and improper waste disposal practices. The exposure began in 1957 and continued to endanger servicemembers, families, and employees at Camp Lejeune until 1987. This was reportedly after the government learned of the dangers and removed the most dangerous wells by 1985.

Who Can File a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit?

The U.S. recently passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 as part of its PACT commitment to address health complications for veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during their service.

This new law makes legal action possible for anyone harmed by their or a loved one’s exposure to contaminated water while living or working at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953 and December 31, 1987.

The U.S. government is also prohibited from asserting immunity from litigation in response to such a lawsuit. As a result, many who previously had no option for financial compensation can now recover damages.
