» Camp Lejeune Prostate Cancer Lawsuit [2023 Update]
Last Updated: May 23rd, 2023
Camp Lejeune Prostate Cancer Lawsuit Overview
Between 1953 and 1987, toxic substances contaminated wells, treatment plants and other sources of drinking water at United States Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.
Military members, family members and civilian workers exposed to these dangerous chemicals have been diagnosed with often fatal medical conditions including several types of cancer and other diseases.
The cancers associated with exposure at Camp Lejeune include prostate cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, and more.
If you’re considering filing a Camp Lejeune Prostate 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 prostate cancer and other conditions.
It’s speculated that the high number of prostate cancer cases result from exposure to Tetrachloroethylene (PCE or PERC) and Trichloroethylene (TCE).
These two substances are commonly used as dry cleaning agents and degreasers for heavy machinery.
A significant source of PCE and TCE contamination came from ABC Cleaners, an off base dry cleaner located right by the Tarawa Terrace Water Treatment Plant.
Prostate Cancer Linked To Contaminated Water At Camp Lejeune
An increased risk of prostate cancer has been identified by medical professionals who’ve studied the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune as a particularly common diagnosis.
Though the survival rate is high for prostate cancer, it is still an extremely serious and debilitating disease with potential lifelong effects.
Symptoms of prostate cancer include:
Blood in semen and urine
Trouble urinating
Bone pain
Unexplained weight loss
Erectile dysfunction
Prostate Cancer Complications
There are serious complications associated with prostate cancer, especially if treatment isn’t undertaken as soon as the warning signs appear:
Metastasizing (spreading) of cancer to other parts of the body
Urinary Incontinence, the loss of bladder control
Erectile dysfunction
As mentioned previously, the high survival rate for prostate cancer (around 95%) should not signal that the cancer is not as serious as other forms of the disease.
It’s recommended that men over the age of 55 attend a prostate exam every 1-3 years.
What Other Health Conditions Has Water Contamination At Camp Lejeune Been Linked To?
The consumption of Camp Lejeune contaminated water has been linked to a number of cancer and non-cancer diagnoses including, but not limited to:
Prostate Cancer
Liver Cancer
Breast Cancer
Kidney Cancer
Adult Leukemia
Aplastic Anemia
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Renal Toxicity
Multiple Myeloma
Miscarriage, infertility and birth defects
Many more diagnoses
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.
What Is The Camp Lejeune Justice Act Aiming To Do?
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is a new piece of legislation that is soon to be signed into law by President Biden.
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.
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.
