SSKB Law is actively reviewing Camp Lejeune water contamination claims nationwide. Our attorneys are ready to help veterans, family members, and civilian workers navigate the legal process.

What Happened at Camp Lejeune? In the early 1980s, the U.S. Marine Corps discovered that two water systems supplying Camp Lejeune had been heavily contaminated with toxic chemicals:

• Trichloroethylene (TCE)
• Perchloroethylene (PCE)
• Benzene
• Vinyl Chloride

These chemicals were found at levels far exceeding safety standards and were linked to dry cleaning operations, leaking fuel tanks, and improper waste disposal. Contaminated water was supplied to military housing, hospitals, schools, administrative offices, and recreational facilities.

Diseases Linked to Camp Lejeune Water Exposure Exposure to these toxic chemicals is linked to numerous health conditions, including:

• Kidney, liver, bladder, breast, lung, and prostate cancers
• Leukemia and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple myeloma
• Female infertility and miscarriage
• Aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic syndromes
• Birth defects and developmental disorders

Who Qualifies for a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit? You may qualify if you:

• Lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between 1953 and 1987
• Were exposed in utero during this period
• Have since been diagnosed with a related disease or illness

Family members, legal representatives, and estates may also file on behalf of deceased loved ones.

What Is the Legal Process?

1. File an Administrative Claim: Submit your case to the Department of the Navy
2. Wait for a Response: The Navy has six months to accept, deny, or ignore your claim
3. File a Lawsuit: If denied or unanswered, you may file in federal court
4. Pursue Settlement or Trial: Your attorney will fight for full and fair compensation

Important Update (May 2025) With over 3,000 lawsuits pending and 410,000 administrative claims filed, Camp Lejeune litigation is advancing—but not without challenges. The government has delayed critical records and evidence, leading to significant discovery disputes. These issues may impact how and when compensation is awarded.

Bellwether trials and rebuttal expert deadlines are now scheduled through mid-2025. These outcomes will shape future settlements and verdicts. Don’t miss your chance to participate.

Why Act Now? Camp Lejeune claims are time-sensitive due to legal deadlines. The current window to file may close soon, so it’s essential to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
