Quick Facts About Camp Lejeune Litigation
Thousands have already filed Camp Lejeune water lawsuits, and the U.S. government is actively evaluating these claims.
Even if your grandparent, spouse, child, or loved one passed away decades ago, our team can still file a contaminated water at Camp Lejeune lawsuit to fight for the justice and compensation on their behalf.
Filing a lawsuit won’t impact your current or future VA benefits. You may be able to receive payments from both a Camp Lejeune lawsuit and monthly VA benefits.
There’s been a lot in the news lately about Camp Lejeune and the Marines injured there from the contaminated drinking water.
Some people may not understand that those claims can still be made, meaning the law that established these claims provides a time limit for people to make those claims, and that time limit hasn’t come up yet. So make your claim now before that window closes.
Others ask, what happens to my VA benefits if I make the claim? No one wants your VA benefits impacted. The VA has made it very clear on their own site, va.gov.
If you go there, it will state clearly for you that making a claim for injuries from the drinking water at Camp Lejeune against the United States government will have no impact on VA benefits. That’s worth repeating.
There is no impact on VA benefits for making these claims.

Exposure to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune can cause a range of serious health conditions. The initial symptoms of these illnesses may involve changes to your behavior, cognitive functioning, or overall well-being.
Camp Lejeune lawsuit symptoms can include:
If you were exposed to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and are suffering from any of these symptoms, schedule a visit with your doctor as soon as possible.
In 1982, the U.S. Marine Corps discovered dangerous chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the water at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
The water contamination on base began in 1953. On-base activities by the U.S. military and a privately owned dry cleaning business nearby unknowingly allowed chemicals to seep into underground storage tanks and pollute the water supply.
Civilian workers, service members, and their families were at risk of exposure to the contaminated water until 1987. However, some of the contaminated wells were removed from service in February 1985.
If you or your loved one suffered health problems from the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, you may qualify for compensation from a Camp Lejeune lawsuit. Call (800) 995-1212 now to learn more.
The water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with multiple dangerous chemicals or VOCs:
Benzene, TCE, and VC are all classified as cancer-causing chemicals, while PCE is classified as probably carcinogenic. Exposure to these chemicals can also increase the risk of birth defects and other health problems.
Currently, the limit for TCE in drinking water is 5 parts per billion (ppb). At its peak, the level of TCE found in the water at Camp Lejeune was 1,400 ppb, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
In August 2022, the U.S. government passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act as part of the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows civilians, veterans, and family members to take legal action for medical issues linked to the water contamination on base — for the first time ever.
For decades previously, families were denied justice, but the Camp Lejeune Justice Act changed that. However, this window of time is only open for two years.
As a result, you only have until August 10, 2024 to file a Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuit. Thousands have already filed, and billions of dollars may be available.
“Our veterans and their families knew they signed up to make the ultimate sacrifice in war to defend our freedoms — but they did not expect to be poisoned by our own government. I am relieved they will finally be able to seek justice after years of having no remedy.”
– Ricky LeBlanc, Managing Attorney at Sokolove Law
