Between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, Camp Lejeune’s water supply was contaminated with harmful chemicals, including benzene and vinyl chloride, posing a serious health risk to those stationed there.

Health Impact

Exposure to these toxic chemicals has been linked to severe health issues, including various forms of cancer, neurological disorders, reproductive problems, and more. These health impacts have left numerous individuals and families struggling.

Insights from Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Studies

Key Research Findings:

Scientific Advisory Panel (2005)

Elevated levels of PFAS were discovered in areas with AFFF usage, signifying potential environmental contamination.

ATSDR's Public Health Assessment (1997)

Identified lower VOC levels in the water, with a recommendation for further studies on effects on fetuses and children.

Adverse Birth Outcomes Study (1998)

Investigated the link between maternal exposure to VOCs and birth outcomes like preterm births and SGA.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022 offers a path to justice. Victims now have the right to file claims with the Department of the Navy and seek relief in Federal court for denied claims or delays.

Understanding CLJA: A Step Towards Justice

Signed into law by President Biden on August 10, 2021, the CLJA allows individuals, including veterans, exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune to file a new claim with the Department of the Navy. Relief can be sought in Federal court if a claim is denied or if no decision is made six months after filing.

Elective Option for Expedited Claims: A Faster Resolution and Payout

In collaboration, the Navy and the Department of Justice have introduced an Elective Option to expedite claims under the CLJA. This ensures a faster resolution and payout, ranging from $150,000 to $450,000, with an additional $100,000 in case of exposure-related death.

Compensation Tiers for Camp Lejeune Victims:

Compensation is categorized into tiers based on the strength of evidence linking the disease to the contaminants and the duration of exposure.

Tier 1 Diagnoses

Diseases for which the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has substantiated evidence of causation would fall under Tier 1.

These diseases include:

Tier 2 Diagnoses

Tier 2 includes diseases where the evidence linking them to the VOCs at Camp Lejeune is strong, but less strong than in the case of Tier 1 illnesses.

These diseases include:

Tier 3 Diagnoses

Tier 3 diseases are diagnosed in former Camp Lejeune residents, but the evidence linking them to the contaminants is still under review.

These diseases include:
