Surviving Children Of US Marines That Died Of Cancer Are Filing Camp Lejeune Justice Act Claims

Several specific types of cancer and birth defects are presumed to be caused by drinking contaminated Camp Lejeune water

Monday, January 2, 2023 - Several specific types of cancer and birth defects are presumed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to have been caused by drinking, bathing in, and cooking with contaminated Camp Lejeune water. Individuals that lived or worked on the base from 1953 to 1987 for at least 30-days do not have to prove causation if they developed one or more of the following conditions. All that is required is one show their medical records and military service records. The conditions presumed to have been caused by exposure to Camp Lejeune tap water are adult leukemia, aplastic anemia, and other myelodysplastic syndromes, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Parkinson's disease. Birth defects and cancer presumed by the VA to have been caused by Camp Lejeune water contamination are childhood leukemia, Neuroblastoma, Renal medullary carcinoma, and Wilms tumor. Veterans or the survivors of veterans who served at Camp Lejeune and have been diagnosed with one of these conditions should contact a Camp Lejeune water attorney to file a Camp Lejeune Justice Act Claim seeking lump-sum compensation. Interestingly, soldiers and their families from other NATO ally countries that may have come to Camp Lejeune for retraining after WW2 may also be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune water lawsuit.

Survivors of US marines that have died from cancer unexpectedly after seeming to be in perfect health are waking up to what may have caused their parent's disease. One family was quoted in NationalWorld.com telling a story of their father who died from cancer after appearing to be a picture of health. "Debbie Lipinski watched her dad Peter die when he was just 55 years old. Peter had been a marine and was stationed at Camp Lejeune for four years from around 1958 to 1962. Debbie, 54, from Buffalo, New York, said: "It was a complete surprise. There were four of us kids. So, my father was a workhorse. And he instilled that through all of us kids, throughout the time, living at home, I don't ever remember my father even having a cold. So when he got sick, we were all like flabbergasted, didn't expect it came out of nowhere," according to NW. The water contamination scandal is expected to lead to thousands of water contamination lawsuits being filed in the two years starting from last August to do so and is expected to become one of the largest mass-tort legal actions rivaling those for asbestos and tobacco. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act, the centerpiece of the Honoring Our Pact Act enacted into law late last summer, allows all servicemembers, civilian employees and contractors, and their respective family members the right to file a claim seeking lump-sum monetary compensation. Compensation amounts vary from person to person and may range from $100,000 to several million dollars. Thousands of people have lost their lives from cancer and other deadly diseases they and their family members contracted from drinking the water on the marine base that was contaminated with volatile organic chemicals and also PFAS forever chemicals from firefighting foam and other sources. More than one million people may have been unknowingly allowed to drink the contaminated water.
