What This Lawsuit Is About
For more than three decades, drinking water at Camp Lejeune contained industrial solvents and other chemicals at levels far above safety limits. Federal law now provides a path for affected veterans, their families, and civilian workers to bring claims.
Partner law firms are reviewing claims from anyone who meets the residency or work requirement and was later diagnosed with a related condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does filing a claim affect my VA benefits?
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is separate from VA disability benefits. An attorney can explain how any recovery may interact with other benefits.
What if the affected person has passed away?
Family members may be able to bring a claim on behalf of a deceased loved one. Share that in the questionnaire.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front. Attorney fees in these claims are capped by law and are paid only from a recovery.
