Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 is currently making its way through Congress. An estimated 900,000 veterans, family members and nearby civilians may have been exposed to unsafe drinking water due to toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune. The water contamination is linked to industrial spills, underground storage tanks, and an off-base dry cleaner and associated with a variety of health conditions.
The Act will allow people who were exposed to toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune between August 1953 and December 1987 to file suit in U.S. federal court and seek financial compensation for illnesses they suffered as a result of the contaminated water. Individuals exposed in-utero may also be eligible.
