For over 30 years, Camp Lejeune’s water supply was contaminated with toxic chemicals.
Unsuspecting Camp Lejeune residents used this water daily for bathing, cleaning, drinking, and other purposes.
Throughout the years, former Camp Lejeune residents have experienced a number of devastating health conditions subsequent to consuming contaminated drinking water.
One of these conditions was nerve damage –
Neuropathy, more commonly referred to as “nerve damage”, is a condition that affects the various types of nerves in the body.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) lists several types of nerve damage including:
Each type of nerve damage comes with unique symptoms and complications.
Camp Lejeune residents who developed nerve damage likely experienced a range of symptoms, significantly reducing their daily functioning and quality of life.
Conditions that generally affect the nervous system may lead to nerve damage.
The most common causes of neuropathy in general are:
Studies indicate that certain chemicals and toxins, , including solvents, lead, arsenic, mercury, and other substances, can cause nerve damage.
Camp Lejeune’s water supply contained several contaminants resulting from the improper disposal of cleaning solvents, including trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene (PCE), benzene, and vinyl chloride.
Several studies and health agencies have linked exposure to these chemicals to nerve damage and other conditions, citing how these chemicals negatively affect the nervous system or contribute to other health conditions that impact the nervous system.
Long-term nerve damage complications can be physical, psychological, and emotional.
Long-term complications of nerve damage may include:
Nerve damage and other related conditions can be severe and progressive and result in permanent complications if not diagnosed and treated properly.
Due to years of unawareness of the water contamination and negligence of Camp Lejeune officials and federal authorities, many residents developed nerve damage and other conditions without fully knowing the cause of their conditions.
Whether through direct nerve damage or other diseases that led to it, Camp Lejeune victims have suffered for years without compensation.
If you or a loved one suffered nerve damage or other related health problems after consuming contaminated water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act claim.

Camp Lejeune water contamination resulted in several health conditions suffered by military service members, their family members, civilian workers, and others who lived and worked at the Marine Corps base.
For years, Camp Lejeune victims dealt with denials for VA health care benefits, disability compensation, and other forms of relief they desperately needed.
Some of the health problems linked to water contamination at Camp Lejeune include:
To learn more about the different health conditions suffered by victims of Camp Lejeune water contamination, visit this page.
Between 1953 and 1987, toxic substances leaked into water treatment plants at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
Potentially over one million people were exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune between these years.
The toxic water contamination at Camp Lejeune has resulted in tragic diagnoses, medical expenses, and losses for Camp Lejeune veterans, service members, family members, civilian workers, and other affected individuals.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 aims to compensate Camp Lejeune victims for what they’ve gone through.
Through the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, victims are able to go through an administrative claims process to demand compensation for their health problems and damages related to their exposure at Camp Lejeune.
The Navy’s Tort Claims Unit (TCU) will promptly review compensation claims, and if a victim’s claim is not adjudicated within 6 months, they may be able to file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit and pursue litigation.
Camp Lejeune Lawsuits are consolidated in North Carolina federal court.
All Camp Lejeune Lawsuits are overseen by judges in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, and the process by which these Camp Lejeune cases will be handled is being determined.
A successful Camp Lejeune settlement could open the door to much-needed compensation for Camp Lejeune victims and help them move forward.
Improper disposal of toxic substances was to blame for the Camp Lejeune water supply contamination.
The U.S. Marine Corps traced toxic substances that contributed to water contamination to a dry cleaning business in 1982.
The facility practiced unethical disposal of cleaning solvents, causing them to contaminate the base’s water supply.
The toxic chemicals contaminated two of the base’s eight water treatment plants.
The Hadnot Point treatment plant and the Tarawa Terrace treatment plant were polluted with contaminants known to cause nerve damage and other serious illnesses.
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) investigated the matter and determined that the toxic water contamination lasted from 1953 to 1987.
It affected over one million Camp Lejeune residents who consumed, bathed in, and cooked with the contaminated water during this period.
The ATSDR identified several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the contaminated water supply at Camp Lejeune, including:
These hazardous chemicals in the drinking water supply pose severe health risks to those who consume or are otherwise exposed to them.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is one of the most crucial pieces of legislation to help Camp Lejeune victims.
However, before its existence, The Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946 (FTCA) provided the only legal recourse for Camp Lejeune victims.
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) awarded compensation to victims of any wrongdoing committed by government employees or agents.
Unfortunately, the FTCA did not recognize Camp Lejeune water contamination cases, preventing past claims against the federal government.
President Joe Biden signed the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act on August 10, 2022.
The PACT Act authorized the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide VA healthcare benefits, disability compensation, and other services to military service members and veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during military service.
This legislation encompassed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, which provided an administrative claims process and avenue for litigation for Camp Lejeune victims.
Section 804 of the PACT Act is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022.
The CLJA is a vital resource for Camp Lejeune veterans and families who have suffered from water contamination at the base.
Qualified plaintiffs may receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other losses associated with their illnesses.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is the most recent and comprehensive attempt at legislating change to benefit Camp Lejeune victims.
Previously, the Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012 extended healthcare, housing, education, and memorial assistance for eligible Camp Lejeune victims.
Qualified law firms and attorneys can help Camp Lejeune veterans and their family members assess their options and file for compensation.
Whether it be claims filed on your behalf, or wrongful death suits filed by surviving family members, experienced Camp Lejeune lawyers can be a vital resource when going through this process.

The settlement amount for each individual case will differ based upon the injuries suffered, conditions diagnosed, time spent at the base, and more.
Lawsuit settlements would also contain damages incurred, which can include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional damages, and more.
Depending on injuries suffered, conditions diagnosed, and evidence available, individual settlement amounts for exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune could be significant.
Camp Lejeune water contamination settlement amounts could be between $10,000 and $500,000 depending on the strength of your case.
These estimates for Camp Lejeune settlement amounts are only estimations based on the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) budget for Camp Lejeune claims.
These estimates are not a guarantee by any means of certain compensation for Camp Lejeune settlements.
Visit this page for more updates on settlement amounts for Camp Lejeune lawsuits as the information becomes more widely available.
Water contamination at Camp Lejeune was caused by spills or leaks from underground storage tanks, waste disposal sites, businesses, and more.
Because of this, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) were found in the water serving the base housing and a variety of other buildings.
These VOCs included:
The Honoring Our PACT Act is a new bill recently signed into law by President Biden that affords new health care benefits to veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during their military service.
Within the PACT Act is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, which allows those exposed to contaminated water at the military base to sue and recover damages.
The deadline for claims filed under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act is two years from the signing of the bill into law: August 10th, 2024.
