Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base and training facility in North Carolina, originally opened in 1942. Thousands that have come through the base between 1953 and 1987 were exposed to toxic water when it became contaminated by carcinogenic chemicals and other harmful organic compounds.
It became clear in the 1980’s with testing how harmful the water was for those who consumed or used it. Because the government was slow to respond to such news, knew of the dangers, but failed to warn the community about the dangers, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act was enacted to allow those affected to file their claim.
Updates:
In only six months since the act has passed over 20,000 claims have been filed under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of August 2022. There is still a year and a half to file, but claims are stacking up fast. These cases will be the first to only require “equipoise” causation. This will make it easier for victim’s to file their claims and receive compensation.
