About the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination litigation
From 1953 to 1987, drinking water at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina was contaminated with industrial solvents, including trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, and vinyl chloride — at levels far above safety limits.
Veterans, family members who lived on base, and civilian workers were exposed for decades. The contamination has been associated with numerous cancers, Parkinson's disease, birth defects, and other serious conditions.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 created a federal pathway for exposed individuals to seek compensation, regardless of prior VA claim outcomes. If you spent 30 or more cumulative days at Camp Lejeune during the contamination period and developed a qualifying condition, you may be able to file.
