Water treatment facilities that supplied water to Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base were contaminated. The volatile organic compounds dumped there from 1957 \u2013 1987 may have caused serious injuries to Marines, Sailors, and their families on the base. Civilian employees may have been affected, too. Recently, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20220606005967\/en\/Camp-Lejeune-Justice-Act-Passes-Enabling-Reparations-for-Military-Families-and-Civilian-Who-Lived-and-Worked-on-Base\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">change in the law<\/a> allows those living on the base and injured by the water to pursue financial compensation from the federal government.

You may be entitled to compensatory damages including medical expenses, lost wages, loss of enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About a Camp Lejeune Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In June, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 was passed. The bill was passed after investigators discovered that water supplies at North Carolina\u2019s Camp Lejeune were contaminated with toxins between 1953 \u2013 1987. The result was many different serious injuries including cancer, birth defects, miscarriage, and neurological defects like ALS or Parkinson\u2019s. The Lejeune Justice Act permits military personnel and their families to pursue a claim within two years. If you lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between August 1953 &#8211; December 1987 and you suffer a serious injury like cancer or your baby suffered birth defects, you may be able to recover compensation for those injuries under the Act. The law is part of broader legislation that seeks to redress the problems of veterans exposed to toxic materials during service.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control\u2019s Agency for Toxic Substances &amp; Disease Registry, two toxic chemicals contaminated the Hadnot Point Treatment Plant and the Tarawa Terrace Treatment Plant. The former plant was contaminated by trichloroethylene (TCE), which is a volatile anesthetic. The sources of TCE contamination include underground storage tank leaks, water disposal sites, and industrial area spills. Percholoroethylene (PCE), which is often used for dry cleaning, was found in highly damaging quantities in the Tarawa Terrace Treatment Plant, arriving there because of an off-base dry cleaning company\u2019s disposal practices. Other toxins found in drinking water include benzene and vinyl chloride.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/chicago-lawyers-for-camp-lejeune-claims\/#more-2781\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Camp Lejeune is a military training facility for the United States Marine Corps.
