It’s expected that as many as a million veterans and their families were affected by the toxic water contamination at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
If you were stationed at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina between August 1953 and December 1987 for a minimum of thirty days, then you are eligible for compensation.
According to the CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry “The contamination of drinking water at Camp Lejeune started in the early 1950s, and the most contaminated wells were shut down in 1985. ATSDR has been assessing the health risks from hazardous substances in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune since the late 1980s. As many as one million military and civilian staff and their families might have been exposed to the contaminated drinking water.”
An official report by the CDC indicates marines and their families may have been drinking and bathing in contaminated, toxic water for as many as 60 years.
Numerous studies have linked a staggering number of health issues to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, including a study by the Environmental Health Journal linking an increased risk of death to the following:
Additional research has linked various cancers, birth defects, and other health-related issues to chemical exposure:
If you were at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, you will and can be eligible to file a claim. The Arkansas Camp Lejeune Lawsuit is being filed now.
Marines and their families who lived on base in short or long-term housing, in addition to civilian employees or workers, may have been affected.
Those who drank the water, cooked with the water, bathed, used dry cleaning, or used water to clean may have been exposed to high levels of toxic chemicals.

Presently, the Department of Veteran Affairs recognizes only eight diseases related to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune. As part of the Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, qualifying veterans are eligible to receive health care from the Department of Veteran Affairs if they served on active duty at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between 1953 and 1987.
Unfortunately, a CBS News Report reveals an average of only 17% of cases have been approved by the VA since 2012. An investigative team found that a number of the “subject matter experts” hired to review cases lacked medical expertise, denying military and their families vital coverage.
As one veteran noted, “the system is failing.” The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows veterans, their families, and workers to hold the military accountable, and receive compensation.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 is a federal law that enables victims of the water contamination at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina to file a lawsuit for their injuries.
According to the bill, those who worked or resided at Camp Lejeune for a minimum of thirty days (consecutive or non-consecutive) between 1953 and 1987 are able to pursue legal action. The bill allows those exposed to contaminants in the water supply to recover damages and hold the government responsible for its actions and denial of compensation.
