Individuals working and stationed at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejune, North Carolina between the years 1953 and 1987 have been exposed to contaminated water. If you developed cancer or any other life-altering health condition, you may be entitled to financial compensation!

Service members and their families living in Camp Lejeune used contaminated water to drink, cook with, and bathe for years. The water was made toxic by volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds have been linked to several severe health conditions, including death.

It is believed the source of the contamination is a dry cleaning facility that had operated in Camp Lejune for many years. After the closure of the facility, the level of VOCs decreased dramatically. However, many health concerns had already taken a toll on the residents of Camp Lejune. These VOCs are harmful carcinogens that are dangerous when exposed to humans, including:

Many veterans or individuals who have tried to file claims in the past have been unfortunately denied, causing more pain and suffering.

The bill would also allow veterans and individuals who were stationed, lived, worked at, or were exposed in-utero to file a claim in U.S. federal court, regardless of whether they have been diagnosed with any specific illness or disease.
