Military members, family members, and civilian workers drank contaminated water for years without knowing its true danger.
Countless individuals have been diagnosed with often fatal medical conditions, including several types of cancer and other diseases, as a result of exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

Camp Lejeune water contamination has been linked to a number of adverse health effects, including the risk of liver disease.
Residents at the Marine Corps base — including active-duty personnel, National Guard members, their family members, civilian workers, and others — experienced symptoms ranging from jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain — the hallmark symptoms of liver disease.
Reports of health conditions in Camp Lejeune residents prompted investigations into the water supply at Camp Lejeune.
Various agencies looked into the water at Camp Lejeune for potential traces of water contamination.
The findings made by agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) found more than 70 hazardous chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune.
The four main contaminants in the water at Camp Lejeune were:
All of these chemicals are known to cause various illnesses.
Liver disease is one of the illnesses caused by these volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Liver diseases cover a wide range of disorders.
These illnesses affect the liver, which is a key organ for many vital processes.
The liver is responsible for detoxification, ridding the body of harmful chemicals.
It’s also responsible for metabolism and the production of proteins for blood clotting.
Any liver disease will impair the liver’s ability to eliminate toxic substances from the body, produce energy, and produce clotting factors.
As a result, a person with liver disease may experience fatigue and bruise easily.
In the worst-case scenario, liver diseases can lead to profuse bleeding due to the absence of clotting factors.
There are several types of liver diseases:
Various studies have linked VOCs to liver disease, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention listed TCE and PCE, two of the major contaminants in the water at Camp Lejeune, as liver-harming VOCs.
A 2018 study from researchers at the Department of Health & Human Services examined VOCs and their links to decreased liver function.
Based on the study’s findings, VOCs like TCE and PCE can aggravate existing liver injuries, causing further deterioration in liver function.
The National Toxicology Program released a report on the development of liver diseases and exposure to VOCs like vinyl chloride.
According to the National Toxicology Program’s report, vinyl chloride is one of the VOCs linked to a rare form of liver cancer called hepatic angiosarcoma.
The National Cancer Institute agrees with the findings and adds that vinyl chloride also predisposes a person to develop primary liver tumors.
If you’ve developed any liver disease and were exposed to the contaminated Camp Lejeune water between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to join others filing Camp Lejeune lawsuits.

Liver disease could be a secondary condition of other health conditions linked to water contamination at Camp Lejeune.
Other potential causes of liver disease and failure include:
Liver diseases can lead to various complications, depending on their severity and progression.
Some possible complications of liver diseases include:
The drinking water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with toxic chemicals for over 30 years, and victims exposed to these chemicals have suffered from debilitating health problems without any relief.
Past legislation, such as the Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, allowed victims to seek expanded VA health care benefits, VA disability benefits, and other forms of relief, but it was not comprehensive enough and many victims’ claims were denied unfairly.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, signed into law as part of the PACT Act, allows victims to file compensation claims against the federal government for exposure to Camp Lejeune water contamination.
The CLJA established the Camp Lejeune administrative claims process, in which victims demand a certain amount of compensation for their illnesses and damages.
The Navy’s Tort Claims Unit (TCU) will promptly review compensation claims and deliver a decision on compensation.
If the Navy TCU denies a victim’s claim, or fails to adjudicate a claim within six months, victims may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit in federal court, specifically the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Since this Act was passed, thousands of active-duty personnel, National Guard members, and their family members have filed Camp Lejeune claims, and others have initiated Camp Lejeune Lawsuits in the Eastern District of North Carolina.

Contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune has been linked to a number of health conditions, including several fatal health problems that have taken the lives of Camp Lejeune veterans and their family members.
Certain cancer diagnoses potentially linked to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune include:
Non-cancer diagnoses suffered by Camp Lejeune victims include:
Camp Lejeune victims went years without any form of relief or restitution for exposure, health problems, and wrongful deaths linked to water contamination at Camp Lejeune.
With the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, victims diagnosed with health conditions linked to the water contamination can pursue compensation claims.
The contamination of Camp Lejeune’s water came from different places.
The VOCs in the camp’s water emanated from underground tanks, hazardous waste sites, and more, seeping into two of eight water treatment facilities in and around the camp.
A major source of Camp Lejeune water contamination was an off-base dry cleaning business that disposed toxic substances like TCE and PCE improperly, resulting in the contamination of water treatment plants that served the Marine Corps base.
As a result, the water that people at the base used for homes and buildings had harmful substances in it.
These substances include hazardous chemicals, many of which are identified as carcinogens.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), and other authoritative organizations, identified over 70 toxic substances in the water at Camp Lejeune.
Of these chemicals, the VA, EPA, and ATSDR identified four to be the most disease-causing and in the highest concentrations.
The main toxic chemicals or VOCs found in the water at Camp Lejeune were:
