Those who served at Camp Lejeune have developed Parkinson's disease and many different types of cancer from drinking contaminated tap water

Tuesday, October 18, 2022 - Most people who have developed cancer or a neurological disease like Parkinson's disease are bewildered about what caused the condition if they led a relatively healthy lifestyle, ate properly, and did not have a familiar history of the disease. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is providing answers for otherwise healthy victims of Parkinson’s disease and many different types of cancer. The Veterans Administration (VA) acknowledges that some types of cancer and other physical and mental disorders like Parkinson's disease are to be attributed to one's time spent drinking ordinary tap water at Camp Lejeune. Everyone who was at Camp Lejeune for at least 30-days total between 1953 and 1987 has the right now to file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act Claim requesting lump-sum monetary compensation for unreimbursed medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. This included US Marines and other branches of the military who trained or lived on the base, civilian employees and contractors, the family members of all those who qualify. People are filing Camp Lejeune Parkinson's disease lawsuits seeking to be compensated for their devastating physical disability.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive, debilitating neurological condition that affects a person's ability to speak, walk, think, and remember. The disease has gained national attention as the actor Michael J. Fox suffers from the condition. Parkinson's disease is one of the presumptive illnesses the VA places on living or working at Camp Lejeune and most people who qualify with the disease has a strong claim. Parkinson's disease can leave a person unable to engage in their chosen profession or occupation as hand tremors make most employment impossible. The Mayo Clinic describes the condition. "Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. Symptoms start slowly. The first symptom may be a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder may also cause stiffness or slowing of movement." One marine veteran has filed a Camp Lejeune Parkinson's disease lawsuit alleging that drinking the contaminated tap water at Camp Lejeune for decades starting in the 50s caused memory loss and uncontrollable shaking later on. Camp Lejeune drinking water was found to contain as early as 1953, levels of volatile organic compounds thousands of times greater than the amounts the Environmental Protection Agency deems safe for human consumption. VOCs trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, and also benzene and chloride were dumped into the local water supply from unlined hazardous waste dumps on the base, industrial cleaning solvents used to clean weaponry and machinery, and also off-base by a local dry cleaner who illegally disposed of dry cleaning solvent by pouring it into a local storm drain. It can also be assumed that PFAS forever chemicals from using and improperly disposing of toxic firefighting foam may have also contributed to the water poisoning.
