Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuit

Military Personel From Every Branch May Have Developed Camp Lejeune Water Cancer

There could be four times the number of US Marines exposed to water carcinogens at Camp Lejeune that now qualify to file an individual lawsuit

Thursday, September 22, 2022 - Camp Lejeune hosted soldiers from all four branches of the military, not just US Marines from 1953 to 1987 for training on the weapons systems, conferences, and other reasons, opening the flood gates for thousands of personal injury and wrongful death Camp Lejeune water lawsuits. Even reserve units that trained at Camp Lejeune for staggered time frames have the opportunity to file a lawsuit if they have developed Camp Lejeune cancer as long as the time adds up to at least 30 days. Logic dictates viewing the damages that could be paid to injured military personnel and the survivors of those who have died as being as unlimited, and as being the cost of going to war in the first place, although the Camp Lejeune Justice Act does not allow for punitive damages. There is no limit on the individual compensation that one could win in a lawsuit and it will be the responsibility of skilled attorneys to argue for every penny a plaintiff is entitled to. Individuals from every branch of the military are filing Camp Lejeune water lawsuits against the Department of Defense, the Navy, and the Marine Corps for failing to warn them about the problems with their water supply.

More than 400 incidences of water being polluted with known carcinogens have been confirmed by the military at bases throughout the country in addition to the dire situation at Camp Lejune. Responsible military commanders are or should be shutting local water supplies if they are found to contain dangerous VOC or PFAS forever chemicals and supply clean, pure bottled water to the residents on the base immediately. Some adults tell of having both parents and a sibling die from cancer, and also a sister-in-law having developed cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency did nothing to monitor Camp Lejeune for decades nor did Marine commanders do anything to warn the public. Bone degeneration is another type of disease caused by drinking contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. Survivors have a two-years to file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act lawsuit. Lawyers think there will be so many cancer claims that the bill could be amended to extend the filing deadline but that is not guaranteed. The list of cancer that qualifies one to file a lawsuit is not limited to those that the VA automatically links to being service-related. That list will expand as time goes on and bellwether trials expose the government's negligence, carelessness, and recklessness. Women who lived at Camp Lejeune for more than 30-days and were pregnant may have experienced birth complications and some have had miscarriages or stillbirths. Approximately 19 cancers automatically qualify one to file a lawsuit. Time is of the essence to file a claim and to get the paperwork started immediately by speaking with a Camp Lejeune water attorney. Survivors of those who have died from cancer after serving at Camp Lejeune may be able to sue the federal government on behalf of the estate of the diseased.
