The government knew about the contamination for years — yet did nothing to protect those living and working on base.

Between 1953 and 1987, the drinking water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with dangerous levels of industrial solvents and chemicals. Residents and workers were exposed to TCE, PCE, benzene, and vinyl chloride — all known carcinogens. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act now gives victims the right to seek compensation they were long denied.

What Is the Camp Lejeune Lawsuit?

The Camp Lejeune lawsuit involves legal claims filed by veterans, family members, and civilian workers who were exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune, a U.S. Marine Corps base in North Carolina, between August 1953 and December 1987.

The water supply was contaminated with toxic chemicals including trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, and vinyl chloride — all recognized carcinogens. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 allows affected individuals to file federal claims for the first time, overriding prior legal barriers.

Who Qualifies for the Camp Lejeune Lawsuit?

You may be eligible if you resided, worked, or were otherwise exposed to the water at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 consecutive days between August 1953 and December 1987 and have since developed a covered health condition.

Camp Lejeune Lawsuit Timeline & Settlements

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act was signed into law in August 2022, enabling tens of thousands of affected individuals to file claims. Cases are currently being processed through the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, with bellwether trials helping establish settlement ranges.

Settlement amounts vary based on the severity of diagnosis, duration of exposure, medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. While no guaranteed payout amounts exist, attorneys are actively negotiating on behalf of claimants with serious conditions.
