The time to file your Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuite is now!
Several hundred lawsuits were filed by people seeking financial compensation for their
suffering. In 2016, every single lawsuit was dismissed due to a law in North Carolina known as
the Statue of Repose.
For obvious reasons, the dismissal of these cases created a large public outcry. It meant that
thousands of innocent victims would be denied any kind of comensation for serious injuries and
healh problems. In response, a new federal law was proposed in Congress named the Camp Legeune
Justice Act or "CLJA". This new law would basically allow victims to finally file lawsuits in
federal court if they were exposed either directly or indirectly to the contaminated water and
Camp Legeune for at least 30 days between Aug 1953 and December 1987.
The delay of this bipartisan bill and the denial of claims by individuals seeking compensation
has resulted in aditional harm in some cases. If you or someone you know had exposure to
the water at Camp Legeune either directly or non-directly, we may be able to help.

The payouts range from $150,000 to $450,000 — with an additional $100,000 offered if exposure
resulted in death.
Veterans, military dependents, and civilian contractors who worked at Camp Lejeune or lived in
base housing at the Marine base between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, might be able to
receive compensation, health and disability benefits if they are diagnosed with cancer,
Leukemia, neurological disorders or other illnesses caused by the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.
If legislation progresses as expected in the U.S. Senate, they may also be able to bring a Camp
Lejeune Water Lawsuit.
