Kellum Law Firm’s Class Action Attorneys are now filing claims on behalf of veterans and family members who were exposed to a contaminated water supply at Camp Lejeune, and became sick.

To date, a procedural bar in North Carolina law has meant that very few victims of the toxic water supply have successfully received compensation for the illnesses and harm they have suffered.

Recently-passed legislation in the House of Representatives has resulted in a reversal of policy and it is now anticipated that claims for compensation may soon be filed on behalf of victims. Specifically:

Bill H.R.2192 – Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2021

“To provide for recovery by individuals who were stationed lived, or worked at Camp Lejeune, for certain actions or omissions by the United States.”

Bill H.R.3967 – Honoring our PACT Act of 2022

“To improve health care and benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances, and for other purposes.”

How Do I Know If I Have A Case?

The illnesses connected with this case are numerous, but the following list would likely qualify:

• Leukemia
• Bladder Cancer
• Breast Cancer
• Esophageal Cancer
• Kidney Cancer
• Liver Cancer
• Lung Cancer
• Multiple Myeloma
• Myelodysplastic Syndrome
• Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

In addition to the above, these injuries may also qualify:

• Infertility
• Birth Defects
• Birth Injuries
• Brain Injuries
• Cardiac Defect
• Fatty Liver Disease
• Miscarriage
• Neurobehavioral Effects

Service members, family members, and friends, who worked or resided on the Camp Lejeune base for at least 30 days between 1953 and 1987 were likely the victims of exposure to the toxic water supply. You may also be able to claim for a deceased family member who died from one of the listed illnesses and was present on the base during the specific period listed.
