📋 About This Lawsuit

For more than 30 years, military personnel and their families at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina were exposed to contaminated drinking water. The water supply contained dangerous levels of trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, and vinyl chloride — chemicals linked to cancer, neurological disorders, and other serious illnesses.

The PACT Act of 2022 opened a two-year window for veterans and family members to file claims against the U.S. government. Thousands of lawsuits are now pending in federal court.
