Intro to the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuits
Between 1953 and 1987, toxic substances contaminated wells, treatment plants, and other sources of drinking water at United States Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and the nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River.
Military members, family members, and civilian workers that were exposed to these dangerous chemicals have been diagnosed with often fatal medical conditions, including several types of cancer and other diseases.
Exposure at Camp Lejeune has been linked to Aplastic Anemia.
If you’re considering filing a Camp Lejeune aplastic anemia lawsuit, you likely have some questions.
Below, our knowledgeable Camp Lejeune attorneys look at the studies conducted on the water contamination at Camp Lejeune as well as evidence linking these substances to aplastic anemia and other conditions.

Aplastic anemia is a rare type of anemia that inhibits the bone marrow’s ability to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Because of the reduced counts of these blood cells, individuals diagnosed with aplastic anemia will often be deficient in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The Honoring Our PACT Act is a new bill recently signed into law by President Biden that affords new health care benefits and VA disability benefits to those exposed to toxic chemicals during their military service.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act — which allows those exposed to contaminated water at the military base to sue and recover damages —is within the PACT Act.

Aplastic Anemia Linked to Contaminated Water at Camp Lejeune
From approximately 1953 to 1987, military personnel and family members living at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base suffered repeated exposure to toxic substances in drinking water.
Those potentially exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune have suffered from numerous health problems including aplastic anemia, bladder cancer, multiple myeloma, kidney cancer, and other severe health issues.
The widespread emergence of cancers and non-cancer diseases prompted an investigation into two of the Marine Corps base camp’s water treatment plants — the Hadnot Point and Holcomb Boulevard water treatment facilities.
After the investigation, the Marine Corps found traces of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the water supply.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Research Council stepped in to examine the various VOCs found in the water.
What Other Health Conditions Has Water Contamination at Camp Lejeune Been Linked To?
Health conditions identified in VA clinical guidance include several conditions that have a “presumptive service connection” to life at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
Victims seeking monetary recovery and disability compensation for the following health conditions in the VA presumptive service connection list may be automatically qualified:
Adult leukemia
Aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes
Bladder cancer
Kidney cancer
Liver cancer
Multiple myeloma
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Parkinson’s disease
The consumption of Camp Lejeune contaminated water has been linked to several other health conditions not mentioned in the VA presumptive service connection list:

Esophageal Cancer
ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

Service members, their families, civilian workers, and countless others were diagnosed with deadly health conditions, and for years they could not secure the benefits they desperately needed.
If you or a loved one was in Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and has been diagnosed with any of the above conditions, you may be eligible to file a claim.
Certain health conditions can place you or your loved one in the health eligibility priority category.
Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit Overview
Over one million military service members, their families, civilian workers, contractors, and others were exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
Highly toxic chemicals linked to cancer and other serious health conditions were found to have leaked from underground fuel storage tanks and other contamination sources.
Camp Lejeune victims drank, bathed in, and used the water from approximately 1953 to 1987.
Multiple legislative efforts have been made over the years to rectify the situation and compensate victims seeking compensation and health care benefits.
Victims were not able to file Camp Lejeune claims and seek financial compensation for their health problems and related costs until the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022.
If you or a loved one were exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and developed health problems, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act: Helping Those Exposed To Camp Lejeune’s Contaminated Water Supply
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is a new piece of legislation that has been signed into law by President Biden.
The PACT Act encompasses this bill, which grants new VA health care, disability benefits, and Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits to veterans exposed to toxic substances during their military service.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows Camp Lejeune residents, National Guard members, family members, former and active duty military personnel, and others to sue and recover damages for exposure to the toxic substances in the water supply.
Camp Lejeune veterans and Camp Lejeune families will be able to secure compensation for health problems and medical expenses related to the toxic chemicals they were exposed to while living on the base.
They will be able to file Camp Lejeune lawsuits in the U.S. District Court: Eastern District of North Carolina.
In the past, several bills were introduced to address the issue at the North Carolina military base, but none have had any widespread impact on victims and families.
Now, people who were denied benefits or compensation in the past may have a fair shot at adequate compensation.
How Does the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 Help Veterans Get Health Care Benefits?
Before 2022, victims could approach the VA for health benefits.
Under the Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, personnel and their family members could have all their health care expenses paid for by the VA if they suffered from any condition linked to the contaminated Camp Lejeune water supply.
Unfortunately, the VA can deny victims and their family members.
If they have been denied, families or active duty personnel would have to wait before reapplying.
However, with the passing of the act, victims seeking monetary recovery can file lawsuits against the U.S. government instead of reapplying to the VA for health benefits.
Camp Lejeune VA-Recognized Presumptive Service Connection Illnesses
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has added eight illnesses to its list of presumptive service connection illnesses.
A diagnosis containing any of these conditions will be deemed the result of service in Camp Lejeune and harmful exposure to its contaminated water supply.
These conditions are:
Adult leukemia
Aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes
Bladder cancer
Kidney cancer
Liver cancer
Multiple myeloma
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Soft-tissue sarcoma
