Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit

Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit

From 1953 through 1987, two water treatment facilities supplying water to the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina were contaminated with two toxic chemicals—perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE). Allegations have surfaced claiming that camp officials knew of these dangerous chemicals contaminating the tap water, exposing members of the military, their families, and other workers and residents on base who ingested and bathed in it.

Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022

Camp Lejeune Justice Act

On August 10, 2022, the PACT Act was passed. This new legislation delivers more comprehensive health care and benefits to veterans affected by all toxic exposure during their service. Part of that legislation includes the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. 

Per the Camp Lejeune Justice Act:

“An individual, including a veteran (as defined in section 101 of title 38, United States Code), or the legal representative of such an individual, who resided, worked, or was otherwise exposed (including in utero exposure) for not less than 30 days during the period beginning on August 1, 1953, and ending on December 31, 1987, to water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, that was supplied by, or on behalf of, the United States may bring an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina to obtain appropriate relief for harm that was caused by exposure to the water at Camp Lejeune.”

More specifically, the PACT Act means that individuals who were exposed to the toxic water would be allowed to file lawsuits to recover damages as well as streamlining disability claims and additional benefits with the Veterans Administration.
