Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Claims Attorney

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina has been the subject of controversy for decades. Between 1953 and 1987, many who were stationed at, lived at, or worked at Camp Lejeune may have ingested and/or bathed in contaminated tap water. As a result, they might have developed a range of health conditions.

Did you work or live at Camp Lejeune at some point between August 1953 and December 1987? Did your time at Camp Lejeune add up to at least 30 cumulative days? Do you have reason to believe your health or the health of your child has been harmed due to consumption of and/or exposure to contaminated water?

If so, you may be eligible to recover financial compensation. Discuss your case with a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit attorney at Russell & Hill – Injury & Accident Attorneys to learn more about your potential legal options.

Essential Information About Water Contamination at Camp Lejeune

Analysis of the water supply at Camp Lejeune in the 1980s revealed the presence of high levels of certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

  • Trichloroethylene (TCE)

  • Perchloroethylene (PCE)

  • Benzene

  • Vinyl chloride

It appears these VOCs mixed with the groundwater due to improper disposal practices. Sadly, it wasn’t until 1999 that individuals and families potentially affected by exposure to Camp Lejeune’s harmful water were informed that their health conditions may have been caused by the contaminated water.

Now, thanks to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, victims and their loved ones can seek compensation for losses they may have incurred due to consuming or otherwise being exposed to harmful water at the site. To learn if you’re eligible for compensation, meet with a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit attorney.

Health Conditions Associated With Contaminated Water at Camp Lejeune

Those who ingested or bathed in the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune may have developed such health conditions as the following:

  • Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

  • Bladder cancer

  • Brain cancer

  • Breast cancer

  • Central Nervous System cancer (CNS).

  • Cervical cancer

  • Esophageal cancer

  • Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

  • Kidney cancer

  • Leukemia

  • Liver cancer

  • Lung cancer

  • Myelodysplastic syndrome

  • Multiple myeloma

  • Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

  • Ovarian cancer

  • Prostate cancer

  • Rectal cancer

This may not be an exhaustive list. It is also possible that children may have been affected by the contaminated water while in utero if their mothers lived or worked at Camp Lejeune.

Don’t automatically assume you can’t recover compensation if a medical condition you or a loved one developed after potentially being exposed to Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water isn’t on the list above. It’s still worth your time to schedule a consultation with a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit firm.
