Camp Lejeune

Attorneys estimate that up to 500,000 claims may eventually be filed in what could become one of the largest mass civil cases in history. Matt Huffman stands by his Brothers and Sisters in arms.

In February 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that contaminated water at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina significantly increased the risk for multiple diseases among Marine Corps personnel, their families, and contractors.

Today, the Department of Health and Human Services estimates that as many as one million people may have been exposed over an almost 35-year period, beginning in 1953 and up until 1987.

Dry cleaning solvents, degreasers, chemicals used on heavy machinery, and almost 70 other toxic substances are blamed for causing various types of cancer, miscarriages, and birth defects.

Section 804 of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 provides for monetary relief for those injured by the toxic water as a result of 30 days of living, working, or otherwise being exposed at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, including in-utero exposure.
