From 1953 to 1987, the drinking water at the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina may have been contaminated.
During that time, nearly a million civilian workers, military service members, and their families were potentially exposed to dangerous chemicals that can cause cancer and other serious health issues.
If you or your loved one suffered health problems or cancer from contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, you may be eligible for compensation from a Camp Lejeune lawsuit.

The toxic VOCs found in the drinking water included:
Benzene: Used to make other chemicals that compose plastics, resins, and nylon and synthetic fibers
Tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene or PCE): For dry cleaning and metal degreasing
Trichloroethylene (TCE): A solvent used to clean metal parts
Vinyl chloride (VC): Over time, TCE and PCE in groundwater degrade to become VC
In June 2022, the U.S. government passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2021, which was part of the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act. The Honoring Our PACT Act focuses on addressing issues that affect veterans who were exposed to toxic materials during service.
Because of this new law, those who were exposed can now seek compensation by filing a Camp Lejeune lawsuit after having been denied justice for so many years.
