Tainted Water at Camp Lejeune Class Action Lawsuit Investigation

Camp Lejeune Contaminated Water: Who’s Affected?

Are you a veteran or family member of a veteran who has suffered from health issues after exposure to tainted water at Camp Lejeune?

For decades, United States Marines and their families may have been exposed to tainted water at the Camp Lejeune training facility in North Carolina, which has since been associated with a number of serious health issues.

Between the 1950s and 1980s, the water on the military base was reportedly tainted with improperly disposed solvents, eventually leading to the discovery of highly concentrated toxins in the water. However, this information was not disclosed to the public until nearly two decades after it had been discovered, according to a report by CNN.

Over a period of around 30 years, as many as 500,000 people may have been exposed to Camp Lejeune contaminated water, CNN discovered.

Now, those who have been diagnosed with related health issues after exposure to tainted water at Camp Lejeune may turn to litigation. Related cases would be filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina.

What is Camp Lejeune?

Camp Lejeune is a military training facility in Jacksonville, North Carolina for the United States Marine Corps. It has been in operation since the 1940s, but from the 1950s to the 1980s, people on the base—including Marines, family members, and others—were regularly drinking tap water tainted with harmful chemicals ranging from 240 to 3400 times the levels allowed by safety standards.

This information was cited in a press release by US Representatives Matt Cartwright, Gregory Murphy, and David Price upon announcing the recent House passage of legislation regarding exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

Camp Lejeune Justice Act

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act was passed in the House on March 3, 2022, with bipartisan support. It now awaits Senate approval.

If the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 is approved by the Senate, the legislation will allow those who have experienced health issues as a result of on-base water contamination to pursue litigation.

The bill was put forward within the Honoring our PACT Act of 2021, which is a more expansive act improving benefits for veterans that have been exposed to toxins.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act passed the House in a 256-174 vote. A total of 222 Democrats and 34 Republicans were voted in favor of the act.

“Anybody who served in the United States Marine Corps, and went for combat training, probably went to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina,” Rep. Cartwright told The Hill. “So this is not just a North Carolina issue; it’s a national issue.”
