SIGNIFICANT Compensation May Be Available
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.

Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
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?
The Camp Lejeune lawsuits aim to deliver justice and compensation to those harmed by toxic water exposure. Victims have developed serious health conditions—such as lung cancer, leukemia, and other illnesses—linked to long-term contamination at the base.

Why Start a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit?
Filing a Camp Lejeune lawsuit is important for:
- Compensation: To recover costs for medical care, treatment, and other illness-related expenses.
- Justice: To hold the government accountable for allowing toxic water exposure at the base.
- Awareness: To highlight the dangers of environmental negligence and push for stronger regulations.
Victims—often veterans and families stationed at Camp Lejeune from the 1950s to 1980s—can file claims through the Eastern District of North Carolina under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
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.
