The cancer-causing chemicals found in the Camp Lejeune water supply can be traced back to three sources: a significant fuel leakage of an underground fuel tank, off-base drycleaning facility improperly disposing of chemicals and on-base personnel using heavy chemicals to clean equipment.

Persons living or working in areas of Camp Lejeune that received water from Hadna Point or Tarawa distribution systems between 1953 and 1987 were likely exposed to toxins in their drinking water. The areas of the base that were impacted included daycares, schools, barracks, family housing, temporary housing, the hospital, along with various other workplaces. Anyone who lived or worked in these areas for at least 30 days during the affected time span may have a case.

The Department of Veterans Affairs acknowledges several types of cancer as linked to harmful chemicals in Camp Lejeune water:

Leukemia
Breast cancer
Esophageal cancer
Lung cancer
Kidney cancer
Bladder cancer
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Multiple myeloma

There were 70 different toxic chemicals detected at unsafe levels in the Camp Lejeune water supply. Specifically, many claims identify benzene, PCE (perchloroethylene) and TCE (trichloroethylene), all of which are known to cause cancer and were found at 270-3400 times the safe levels in the Camp Lejeune water.

Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuits from will likely be consolidated with others from around the nation as multi-district litigation (MDL). In a MDL, each plaintiff receives a settlement that is based on their own injuries or damages. This approach increases the efficiency against a large defendant, such as the U.S. Marine Corps.

If a member of your family in suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a toxic exposure while serving in the U.S. military, long-term, or even lifelong, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to toxic exposure linked to military service, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every lawsuit we file can serve to make the entity responsible take note of the loss and pain its negligence has caused. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that lead to lasting safety improvements.
