For over THREE DECADES, thousands of Marines and their families inadvertently consumed water that was contaminated without their knowledge.
In 1982, routine water testing at Camp Lejeune revealed the presence of hazardous chemicals known to be carcinogenic or harmful to human health. Alarming levels of contamination, reaching up to 300 times the acceptable limits, were documented. Shockingly, despite these dangers being well-documented, the water continued to be provided to countless unsuspecting Marines and their families. This could have led to serious long term health issues.
These health issues included but are not limited to:
- Bladder cancer
- Breast cancer
- Cardiac birth defects
- Esophageal cancer
- Female infertility
- Hepatic steatosis
- Kidney cancer
- Leukemia
- Liver cancer
- Lung cancer

Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
In June 2022, the Honoring our Pact Act was successfully passed by the US Senate with an impressive bipartisan vote of 84-13. This crucial legislation provides essential support to victims affected by the contamination of water at Camp Lejeune, enabling them to seek rightful compensation through claim filings.
Regrettably, many individuals who suffered severe illnesses as a consequence of the government's negligence at Camp Lejeune have encountered unjustified denials or unwarranted delays in their claims process, exacerbating their plight.
Now, individuals or their loved ones who resided, worked, or were stationed at Camp Lejeune and experienced illnesses related to water toxicity have the opportunity to potentially secure a significant settlement, offering a measure of redress for their hardships.
