Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Claims
Camp Lejeune, a prominent military base nestled along the North Carolina coast, has served as a training ground for millions of dedicated American military service members, predominantly Marines, since its establishment in 1942.
However, beneath the surface of this historic base lies a haunting truth. Private water wells that once provided sustenance to the base became tainted with hazardous levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene (PCE), vinyl chloride, and benzene.
Disturbingly, there is evidence to suggest that both the Navy and the U.S. government were aware of the contaminated water supply, yet failed to take necessary measures to protect the well-being of military personnel and civilians residing on the base.
Thankfully, a ray of hope has emerged in the form of the Honoring Our Pact Act (PACT), inclusive of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. This legislation empowers individuals who resided at Camp Lejeune and have endured adverse health issues to seek legal recourse.
Under the PACT Act, you may be entitled to compensation if you meet the following criteria:
- Resided at Camp Lejeune for a minimum of 30 days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987.
- Have been diagnosed with a debilitating illness or injury directly linked to VOC exposure.
If you believe that you meet these requirements and have a valid claim, time is of the essence. The PACT Act imposes limitations on the timeframe for victims to take action. Don’t delay; act swiftly to protect your rights and potential compensation.
