Pursuant to the NEW Camp Lejeune Justice Act (now part of the PACT act), anyone who lived or worked at United States Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina between 1953 and 1987 may be entitled to significant cash compensation.
If you or a loved one lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and have since been diagnosed or passed away as a result of certain cancers, hematological conditions, or nervous system disorders, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
Between 1953-1987, oil, potentially radioactive toxic chemicals, and industrial wastewater were dumped into storm drains on the Base. Over time, these substances altered the water tables and began to contaminate the Base’s water supply. It has been estimated that concentrations of certain pollutants exceeded 3,400 times the levels permitted by governmental safety standards. The Environmental Protection Agency labeled Camp Lejeune a “major polluter” in the 1970s and reports concerning contamination on Base were confirmed in 1980.
