If you’re considering filing a Camp Lejeune Lung 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 Lung Cancer and other conditions.

An increased risk of lung cancer has been identified by medical professionals who’ve studied the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune as a particularly common diagnosis.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) conducted many scientific studies on the Camp Lejeune water supply, and found that residents with long-term exposure suffered from higher rates of lung cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, rectal cancer, and many other deadly forms of cancer.
Lung Cancer is one of the most deadly forms of the disease.
Lung cancer claims the lives of over 130,000 people so far in 2022.
Lung cancer is expressed in two (2) forms:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, covering around 85% of diagnoses.
Non-small cell lung cancer is further divided into three (3) types:
Small cell lung cancer is the least common type of lung cancer and spreads much faster than non-small cell lung cancer.
There are two (2) types of small cell lung cancer:
All types of lung cancer have the ability to spread to other parts of the body.
Symptoms of lung cancer include, but are not limited to:
There are serious complications associated with lung cancer, especially if treatment isn’t undertaken as soon as the warning signs appear:
If you are experiencing symptoms of lung cancer, seek medical attention immediately.
This disease is extremely serious and if treatment isn’t sought as soon as possible, chances at full recovery are slim.

The consumption of Camp Lejeune contaminated water has been linked to a number of cancer and non-cancer diagnoses including, but not limited to:
Service members, their families, civilian workers, and countless others were diagnosed with deadly health conditions, and for years could not secure the benefits they desperately need.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is a new piece of legislation that has been signed into law by President Biden.
This new law is encompassed by the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, which grants new healthcare and Veterans Affairs (VA) disability benefits to veterans exposed to toxic substances during their military service.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act affords Camp Lejeune residents the ability to sue and recover damages for exposure to the toxic substances in the water supply, one of the first times the federal government has allowed legal action of this sort.
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.
Those eligible will file suit 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 for victims and families.
Now, people who were denied benefits or compensation in the past may have a fair shot at adequate compensation.
With the signing of the bill into law by President Biden, Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuits are able to be filed by any person exposed to contaminated water at the Marine Corps base between 1953 and 1987.
If you or a loved one was exposed to toxic water at Camp Lejeune between these dates, and meet other certain criteria, you may qualify to file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit.
