Camp Lejeune Lawsuit: The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
Toxic Torts
» Camp Lejeune Lawsuit: The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
Last Updated: May 23rd, 2023
What Does The Camp Lejeune Justice Act Of 2022 Aim To Do?
In August 2022, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act was passed and signed into law by President Biden.
With the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, veterans exposed to toxic chemicals found at Camp Lejeune are able to secure the justice they deserve.
The bipartisan bill provides financial compensation for medical care and disability benefits to those affected by Camp Lejeune Water Contamination.
The legislation prohibits the United States government from claiming specified sovereign immunity from litigation in response to a contaminated water lawsuit at Camp Lejeune.
Victims of Camp Lejeune water contamination are able to file an administrative claim with the help of a legal representative or by themselves (pro se) that outlines their damages and a proposed settlement.
From the time the claim is submitted, the Navy JAG and Tort Claims Unit have six months to validate (adjudicate) the claim and pay out a settlement. If a solution cannot be reached within that six months, or a claimant refuses their offer, the claimant has a right to file a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
If you or a loved one were at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to file a claim. Contact us today for a free consultation and to see if you qualify for the Camp Lejeune Lawsuit.

The act allows lawsuits to be filed by any person who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between 1953 and 1987.
Further, those individuals at Camp Lejeune must have been diagnosed with one of the following diseases:
Bladder Cancer
Breast cancer
Cervical Cancer
Esophageal Cancer
Kidney Cancer
Liver Cancer
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Adult Leukemia
Aplastic Anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes
Multiple Myeloma
Renal Toxicity
Scleroderma
Hepatic Steatosis
Infertility In Women (and other birth effects)
Lung Cancer
Neurobehavioral Effects (like ALS & Parkinson’s Disease)
These are just some of the diseases and health complications that have been linked to exposure of the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with any of these conditions, you may be eligible to file a claim for compensation under the proposed Honoring Our PACT Act (which includes the Camp Lejeune Justice Act).
Camp Lejeune claims are handled in a completely unique way that has not been seen before in other lawsuits about toxic exposure and dangerous chemicals.
First, victims of water contamination must file a claim with the Navy JAG.
The claim form, which a legal representative can complete on your behalf, outlines health issues potentially linked to Camp Lejeune water contamination and contains a settlement demand that aims to provide appropriate relief for the harm caused.
Participation in the Camp Lejeune Justice Act is not limited to veterans exposed to toxic water.
Family members who lived at Camp Lejeune, as well as family members of deceased individuals who lived at Camp Lejeune are eligible to file a claim.
Gathering Evidence for Camp Lejeune Claims
If you or a loved one were exposed to toxic chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune and are considering filing a claim, you must retrieve your medical records.
If filing with the help of a law firm or legal representative, you may have to sign a HIPAA release form or other similar documentation that will release your medical records to your legal team for use as evidence in your Camp Lejeune Lawsuit claim.
Veterans can also contact the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for their military records.
The History Behind Camp Lejeune's Contaminated Drinking Water
In 1982, the first official U.S. government report found dangerous compounds and toxic chemicals in the groundwater and drinking water at Lejeune Camp, North Carolina.
Toxic chemicals Found in the Water at Camp Lejeune include:
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE or PERC)
Trichloroethylene (TCE)
Vinyl Chloride
Benzene
Several other dangerous chemicals
There is scientific and medical evidence that exposure to contaminants found in Camp Lejeune’s water supply can lead to the development of several fatal diseases.
According to authorities, water contamination at this base is one of the most significant in American history. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) states that over 900,000 service members may have been exposed to contaminated water.
The VA has announced that service members exposed to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, are presumed to have been exposed to the contaminants and are eligible for free health care.
Unfortunately, these benefits offered by the VA frequently fall short of compensating service members and their family members for what they’ve been through.
Furthermore, water contamination victims have not been able to pursue claims and recover damages against the federal government.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 has removed this long-standing restriction, allowing veterans, military families, and others harmed by contaminated water to file a claim against the government and secure the financial relief they deserve.
Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 Becomes Law
Exclusive Jurisdiction By The United States District Court For The Eastern District Of North Carolina
Those exposed to drinking water at Camp Lejeune will be able to file a claim for damages and potentially file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit in the Eastern District of North Carolina against the United States government.
Only those exposed to Camp Lejeune drinking water for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, are eligible to file a claim.
The Camp Lejeune Act of 2022 allows a person’s representative or estate to file a claim and/or lawsuit on behalf of their deceased loved one.
This is particularly important for individuals whose loved one has died from a condition linked to Camp Lejeune water contamination.
An experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal process, ensure that your rights are protected, and maximize your chances of a successful Camp Lejeune Justice Act claim.
