If you or a loved one in San Jose lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and were diagnosed with cancer or another serious illness linked to toxic water exposure, you may have grounds to file a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit fort San Jose residents against the U.S. federal government. San Jose water contamination claims and Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuits allow San Jose persons harmed by water contamination at Camp Lejeune to seek compensation for the resultant suffering and loss.
For over 30 years, 70 cancer-causing chemicals were found in the two main water supply systems at North Carolina's Camp Lejeune. These chemicals included benzene, a component of gasoline, as well as PCE and TCE, which are industrial solvents known to cause cancer. These chemicals were found in the Camp Lejeune water at 240 - 3400 times the permitted levels. Exposure to such high levels of harmful chemicals has resulted in countless cases of cancer among the Marines, their families, and civilian workers at Camp Lejeune, including veterans now living in San Jose.
Today, thanks to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, San Jose residents who were exposed to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune can exercise their constitutional right to file a claim against the U.S. Marine Corps to recover damages for sufferings and loss related to cancer.
While the Camp Lejeune water contamination was discovered in the early 1980s, no action was taken for several more years. The Marine Corps has a responsibility to ensure safe living and working conditions for all those on their bases. The leadership failure at Camp Lejeune resulted in thousands of dedicated servicemembers and their families developing life-threatening illnesses including cancer. Now any veteran or family member in San Jose who developed a serious illness after living or working at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953 and December 31, 1987 can file a Camp Lejeune water contamination claim in San Jose.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes a number of cancer types stemming from exposure at Camp Lejeune, including lung cancer, breast cancer, leukemia, esophageal cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The recent passage of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act means that San Jose veterans and their families who experienced cancer as a result of the Camp Lejeune contamination may be eligible for significant compensation, according to attorneys handling Camp Lejeune claims for San Jose residents.
San Jose residents who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and later developed breast cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, leukemia, esophageal cancer, kidney cancer, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, or another serious illness, may qualify to file a Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuit in San Jose to recover compensation for damages. In addition, loved ones of such a person may qualify to file a claim on their behalf.
