From 1953 to 1987, the two water supply systems at the United States Marine Corps base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina were believed to be contaminated with unacceptable levels of toxic substances such as Benzene, Tetrachloroethylene (PCE), Trichloroethylene (TCE), Trans-1,2-dichlorethylene (DCE), and vinyl chloride. These toxins have been linked to cancer and many other conditions.
Because of the new law, current and former service members, their spouses and children, other civilians who were exposed can now seek financial compensation by filing a Camp Lejeune lawsuit.
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if you or your loved one:
Time is limited and you will likely have just two years to file a claim for yourself or for a loved one lost after being exposed to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.
If you or a loved one served, lived, or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953-1987 for at least 30 days, we can assist you with your claim.
