On this page, we’ll discuss an overview of the Camp Lejeune ALS Lawsuit, how the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination has been linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, other symptoms of water contamination linked to Camp Lejeune, and much more.
United States Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has been home to millions of military members, families, and civilian workers.
Between 1953 and 1987, toxic substances contaminated the drinking water sources at Camp Lejeune and the nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River, resulting in dire medical conditions such as cancer and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
ALS — also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease — is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
Symptoms of ALS can vary significantly between those affected but often include a gradual onset of muscle weakness that eventually spreads to other parts of the body.
ALS has become a reality for many Camp Lejeune veterans and others living or working at the base.
Those who served on active duty or lived at the base and developed ALS between 1953 and 1987 may be eligible for disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or legal action through a Camp Lejeune ALS lawsuit.
If you or a loved one were exposed to toxic water at Camp Lejeune and subsequently developed ALS or other medical conditions, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act claim.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease — is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to the loss of muscle control and bodily functions.
Between 1953 and 1987, toxic substances infiltrated the drinking water sources at Camp Lejeune and the nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River, posing severe health risks to military members, families, and civilian workers.
Toxic substances leaked from underground storage tanks, a local dry cleaning business, and military operations.
The harm caused by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune is extensive, leading to the deaths and serious medical problems suffered by veterans and their family members.
Exposure to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune is associated with a range of health conditions, including:
TorHoerman Law advocates for individuals affected by environmental hazards and toxic exposures.
Our experienced and expert attorneys can provide legal guidance, gather evidence, assess damages, and offer comprehensive representation for Camp Lejeune ALS lawsuit claims.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is legislation aimed at providing support and legal avenues for individuals seeking compensation for health issues caused by exposure to toxic substances in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
Each Camp Lejeune settlement will differ based upon the injuries suffered, conditions diagnosed, time spent at the base, and more.
Lawsuit settlements would also contain damages incurred, which can include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional damages, and more.
Depending on injuries suffered, conditions diagnosed, and evidence available, individual settlement amounts for exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune could be significant.
Camp Lejeune water contamination settlement amounts could be between $10,000 and $500,000 depending on the strength of your case.
These estimates for Camp Lejeune settlement amounts are only estimations based on the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) budget for Camp Lejeune claims.
These estimates are not a guarantee by any means of certain compensation for Camp Lejeune settlements.

Toxic chemicals were responsible for Camp Lejeune’s water contamination.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were present in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune, causing an increased risk of various medical conditions.
VOCs found in the water at Camp Lejeune include:
Exposure to toxic water at Camp Lejeune has been linked to ALS.
This incurable neurodegenerative disorder is characterized by muscle weakness gradually worsening over time.
With the advanced stages of ALS, the brain loses several abilities and can lead to the inability to move, speak, and swallow normally, eventually resulting in death.
Specifically, exposure to TCE and PCE have been found to increase the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease — is named after the legendary New York Yankees baseball player diagnosed with the illness in 1939 and died almost two years later.
ALS is a rare neurological disease that gradually weakens muscles, impacting essential bodily functions such as walking, talking, chewing, and breathing.
ALS has no known cure, and no treatment currently exists to stop or reverse the progression of the disease.
ALS causes the upper motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord to degenerate and die, resulting in the gradual loss of voluntary muscle control.
This loss eventually leads to complete paralysis, although mental capacity usually remains intact.
The exact causes of ALS are multifaceted and not fully understood.
However, exposure to certain environmental factors may be responsible for its onset.
Risk factors for developing ALS include genetics, age, biological sex, race and ethnicity, and exposure to environmental toxins.
In the case of Camp Lejeune, the presence of toxic substances in the water supply adds a troubling layer to the already complex puzzle of ALS causation.
Camp Lejeune victims exposed to toxins in the water have an increased risk of developing ALS.
ALS causes a myriad of complications that deteriorate the quality of life for those affected.
From muscle weakness to difficulty speaking and swallowing, individuals battling ALS face immense physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
The need for comprehensive medical care and support becomes paramount as the disease progresses.
Early warning signs of ALS may include:
As the disease progresses, the symptoms worsen and affect other body parts. Eventually, ALS can lead to:
People with ALS typically have a life expectancy of two to five years after diagnosis.

The consumption of Camp Lejeune contaminated water has been linked to a number of cancer and non-cancer diagnoses.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) released a list of illnesses that have a “presumptive service connection” to Camp Lejeune water contamination.
The illnesses on the VA presumptive service connection list include:
Other medical conditions linked to Camp Lejeune water contamination include:
Service members, their families, civilian workers, and countless others were diagnosed with deadly health conditions and, for years, could not secure the benefits they desperately needed.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act affords veterans and others exposed to contaminated water the ability to join a claims process and seek justice.
Camp Lejeune water contamination posed a grave threat to the health and well-being of civilians and veterans exposed.
The Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit seeks to recover compensation and health care benefits for those who have suffered from exposure to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reported over one million Camp Lejeune victims were exposed to toxic water contamination from 1953 to 1987.
In 1982, the U.S. Marine Corps discovered that a dry cleaning business near the base was responsible for contaminating the water supply.
The unethical waste disposal practices caused hazardous chemicals to seep into the water supply.
Other reports of toxic chemicals entering groundwater and drinking water sources have been unearthed over the years, including reports that the Marine Corps improperly disposed of chemicals and fuel waste into drains.
The toxic water affected two of the eight water treatment plants, namely the Tarawa Terrace treatment plant and the Hadnot Point treatment plant.
Camp Lejeune residents unknowingly used contaminated water on the base for drinking, bathing, laundry, cooking, and other purposes.
The ATSDR discovered several toxic chemicals in the contaminated main water supplies.
The four (4) primary contaminants found in the Camp Lejeune water supply include:
These toxic substances are known carcinogens and can cause severe medical complications, including ALS and various cancers.
Several legislations sought support and legal avenues for individuals affected by the Camp Lejeune toxic water contamination.
The Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946 (FTCA) granted financial compensation for victims of personal injury, property loss or damage, or death because of any federal employee’s negligence or act of omission.
However, victims could not file Camp Lejeune lawsuits against the federal government.
To remedy this issue, President Joe Biden signed the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act into law on August 10, 2022.
The PACT Act authorized the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide its services, such as VA health care and other VA benefits, to Camp Lejeune water contamination victims.
Section 804 of the PACT Act was the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 (CLJA).
This act amended the FTCA and finally allowed victims to file Camp Lejeune lawsuits against the federal government.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act permitted claims, allowing victims to seek financial compensation for damages.
Were you a Camp Lejeune resident for at least 30 days during the contamination period (August 1, 1953, to December 31, 1987)?
Have you been diagnosed with ALS?
If so, you may qualify to file a claim under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.
