What Does The Camp Lejeune Justice Act Of 2022 Aim To Do?
In 2022, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act was passed to provide justice for the victims of the water contamination at Camp Lejeune.
The bill provides medical care and benefits to those affected by the contamination and established a fund to pay for the cleanup of the camp.
The proposed legislation prohibits the United States government from claiming specified sovereign immunity from litigation in response to a contaminated water lawsuit at Camp Lejeune.
The bill was introduced in response to the water contamination, which affected over two million people who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987.
The contamination was caused by industrial solvents and other chemicals in the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.
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).

The History Behind Camp Lejeune's Contaminated Drinking Water
The U.S. government found dangerous compounds in the groundwater at Lejeune Camp, North Carolina, in 1982.
There is scientific and medical evidence that exposure to these contaminants can lead to the development of certain diseases.
According to authorities, water contamination at this base is one of the most significant in American history.
For example, the Department of Veterans Affairs 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 advantages frequently fall short of compensating service members and their families for what they’ve been through.
Furthermore, water contamination victims were previously prohibited from pursuing claims against the federal government.
However, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 has potentially removed this long-standing restriction, allowing veterans harmed by contaminated water to file a claim against the government.
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 in the Eastern District of North Carolina against the United States government.
However, there are certain restrictions on who may bring a lawsuit.
For instance, 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.
Furthermore, you must show that your illness or injuries are linked to Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water.
In most situations, this will necessitate a medical expert who can testify to the court or jury that your condition was caused, at least in part, by your exposure to the contaminated water.
Notably, the Camp Lejeune Act of 2022 allows a person’s representative to bring a legal case on behalf of their loved one.
This is particularly important for individuals who have loved ones who died due to the diseases they contracted due to their contamination.
However, there is no legal requirement that their direct exposure caused their death.
If the act of 2022 becomes law, there will likely be a lot of conflicts over who qualifies for benefits and how much they should get.
