    Camp Lejeune Lawsuit

    One of the worst water pollution incidents in American history occurred at Camp Lejeune. From August 1953, when toxins started seeping into the water systems at the base until the government finally shut them down in 1987, an estimated one million military personnel, their families, and civilians who lived and worked at Camp Lejeune cooked took baths in and drank severely contaminated water. Several cancers, congenital disabilities, Parkinson’s disease, infertility, and kidney disease have all been connected to contaminated water.

    Effects

    The Camp Lejeune water contamination had a wide-ranging effect; military personnel, their families, and employees of all ages all perished or became ill. There were many stillbirths, and infants and adults contracted cancer and other diseases. In some instances, entire families almost always passed away or got very sick.

    Additionally, despite providing some disability benefits and medical coverage for specific illnesses linked to the Camp Lejeune water contamination, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) wrongfully and unfairly rejected many of those claims for years. Furthermore, until now, the legislation did not permit victims to sue in federal court for pain, suffering, or other damages.

    Compensation for damages

    On August 10, 2022, President Biden signed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA), which was incorporated into the Remembering Our PACT Act earlier this year. Anyone who spent at least 30 days at Camp Lejeune between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, can file a lawsuit against the government in federal court for personal harm and wrongful death damages. Exposure amounts that were harmful to the body could have resulted from just 30 days on the base. The government is expected to confront thousands of Camp Lejeune lawsuits, exposing an estimated one million people.
