Individuals diagnosed with bile duct cancer after exposure to polluted water at Camp Lejeune may seek legal action.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act enables veterans, military families, non-military workers, and survivors to seek restitution for harm from toxic water.
Studies indicate a potential link between contaminated water and bile duct cancer.
On this page, we’ll discuss an overview of the Camp Lejeune Bile Duct Cancer Lawsuit, other health conditions linked to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, who qualifies to file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit, and much more.
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.
The contaminated water at Camp Lejeune has been linked to serious and often fatal medical conditions, including birth defects, neurobehavioral effects, and several types of cancer, such as bile duct cancer.
Over one million military service members, their family members, civilian workers, and others were potentially exposed to the Camp Lejeune water contamination.
If you’re considering filing a Camp Lejeune bile duct cancer lawsuit, you likely have some questions.
Below, our attorneys look at the studies conducted on the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, and evidence linking these substances to bile duct cancer and other conditions.
If you or a family member were at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, and have developed bile duct cancer, contact TorHoerman Law for a free case evaluation or use the chatbot on this page to see if you qualify to file a Camp Lejeune lawsuit instantly.

Toxic substances found in the water at Camp Lejeune are known human carcinogens, linked to diseases such as bile duct cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, exposure to toxic substances is among the risk factors for the development of bile duct cancer.

Bile duct cancer or cholangiocarcinoma is a rare but aggressive type of cancer.
Biliary cancer occurs in the bile duct — small tubes which carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and intestines.
Due to its purpose, the bile duct has an essential role in the digestion and processing of food, and any disruption to it can have deleterious effects on metabolism and nutrient absorption.
Cholangiocarcinoma is relatively rare but can be aggressive and is categorized based on its location: intrahepatic (within the liver), perihilar (where the ducts leave the liver), or distal (closer to the intestine).
Exposure to toxic chemicals in the Camp Lejeune water supply may increase the risk for bile duct cancer.
Researchers have linked exposure to toxic chemicals and the onset of biliary cancer.
Scientific research on the links between bile duct cancer and toxic substances include:
Bile duct cancer has been attributed to various causes.
Like many forms of cancer, bile duct cancer may be due to infections, chronic inflammation, and genetics.
Possible causes and risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma or bile duct cancer include:
The complications from bile duct cancer are often due to the disruptions in bile flow.
Bile is a substance procured by the liver that aids in the emulsification of foods.
Due to its role, it helps with nutrient absorption and digestion.
The obstruction of bile can lead to various adverse health effects and complications, including:
Early detection and treatment of cholangiocarcinoma can help manage or prevent some of these complications.
Regular follow-up care for those diagnosed with bile duct cancer is crucial.
In the worst-case scenario, the obstruction of bile can cause the liver to overcompensate, leading to liver cancer.
Toxic substances contaminated water at Camp Lejeune for over 30 years, from 1953 until 1987.
For decades, military service members, their family members, civilian workers, and others drank and bathed in contaminated water often without knowing that it was contaminated with volatile organic compounds linked to cancer.
The federal government and Camp Lejeune officials did little to stop the water contamination or provide relief and benefits to affected individuals.
Several pieces of legislation were introduced with the aim of covering the health care expenses of Camp Lejeune veterans and their family members.
One piece of legislation was the 2012 Camp Lejeune Families Act, an act requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs to give VA health care benefits to those affected in the incident.
While some received health care benefits and VA disability compensation, many veterans were denied benefits.
In 2022, Congress and President Joe Biden signed into law the Camp Lejeune Justice Act as part of the PACT Act, which allows former residents to pursue compensation from the federal government.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 allows victims to file compensation claims, and if their claims are not adjudicated by the Navy’s Tort Claims Unit (TCU) within six months, victims can file Camp Lejeune Lawsuits in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Since the law’s passing in August 2022, nearly 100,000 claims have been filed, and many individuals have initiated Camp Lejeune litigation.
The consumption of Camp Lejeune contaminated water has been linked to many cancer and non-cancer diagnoses.
Camp Lejeune victims have developed a number of severe health conditions, and countless veterans exposed to contaminated water have passed away.
Certain cancer diagnoses potentially linked to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune include:
Non-cancer diagnoses suffered by Camp Lejeune victims include:
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.
Organizations such as the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified several waste disposal sites and underground fuel storage tanks in and around Camp Lejeune to be the sources of water contamination.
Based on the EPA’s findings, 48,000 pounds of toxic chemicals were in the base’s underground storage tanks, groundwater, and soil, placing more than a million military service members at risk.
Two water treatment facilities were seen to have the highest concentrations of VOCs: Hadnot Treatment Plant and the Tarawa Terrace Treatment Plant.
These facilities supplied drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
With many ingesting the toxic water, thousands of former residents and active duty personnel developed various conditions, including cancers and autoimmune issues.
The EPA and ATSDR identified four VOCs to be in high amounts in the base’s water and soil.
These VOCs include the following:
These VOCs have been linked to various cancers and other health conditions.
Thousands of former Camp Lejeune residents and family members are filing claims for compensation.

Camp Lejeune water contamination settlement amounts could be between $10,000 and $500,000 depending on the strength of your case.

These estimates are not a guarantee by any means of certain compensation for Camp Lejeune settlements.
