Were you or a loved one harmed by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune? Pending legislation means you may be eligible to file a lawsuit for financial compensation.
In 1982, routine water testing at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina found the drinking water to be contaminated by highly toxic chemicals known to cause harm to humans. Several wells on the base were contaminated by underground storage tanks and waste disposal sites, which leaked toxic chemicals into the drinking water supply.
These chemicals included:
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Perchloroethylene (PCE)
Benzene
Vinyl chloride
Other compounds
The water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with up to 300 times the acceptable level of these chemicals. Talk to our attorneys to learn more.

A new law that is currently pending in congress may make anyone who drank the water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and suffered a serious health condition eligible to file a lawsuit. This includes:
Service members working or living on base
Families of individuals stationed on base
People who regularly visited or worked on base
Children who were in utero while their mother was on base
Although the contaminated wells at Camp Lejeune were mostly removed in 1985, thousands of people were affected by the toxic water for over 20 years. The only option for people who were harmed by the water was to file for disability through the Veterans Administration, but a new law in Congress may allow people to be fully compensated for their illness.
About the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
Congress is currently voting on a new law called the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022. If passed, this law will allow individuals to receive fair compensation for the illnesses caused by the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.
The bill is part of a larger initiative in Congress to provide support for individuals who have served our country and have been exposed to toxic chemicals in the line of duty.
Even if you filed for disability through the VA you may still be eligible for compensation through a lawsuit in U.S. federal court. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 addresses many of the loopholes that allowed the VA to deny disability claims and block lawsuits from the court.
