Four questions about the Camp LeJeune lawsuits

Traverse City, MI – Most people have heard about the problems at Camp LeJeune in North Carolina. This was a military base that caused a number of problems for people who worked in the area and those who were stationed at the base as members of the active duty military. Anyone who had a connection to the base should review information about the lawsuits to determine if they may be eligible to bring a case for compensation. An attorney who is handling the Camp LeJeune litigation can provide more specific details and advice regarding whether a lawsuit is necessary and how to proceed.

What happened at Camp LeJeune to cause these lawsuits?

The water supply at Camp LeJeune was exposed to various forms of contamination. This may have come from fuels, dry cleaning chemicals, radioactive materials, and other pollutants. People who were living at the base or working there may have used this water for everyday activities such as drinking, showering, and cooking over the course of years.

When were people exposed to the carcinogens at the base?

Lawsuits for compensation have been filed by people who were in the area between 1953 and 1987. Testing shows that the contamination was likely happening for years before this information about the potential danger in the area was released to the public, so the exposure happened over a long time period.

How much can someone who developed health problems receive through a lawsuit?

Compensation can vary greatly in each individual case. In most lawsuits for injuries, the compensation will tend to be larger if the victim developed cancer or other serious health problems. However, it can be difficult to estimate damages without speaking to an attorney and providing specific facts.

What are the potential health problems caused at the base?

A large number of different life threatening health issues have been associated with the exposure to the water supply at Camp LeJeune. These include, but are not limited to, cancers of the bladder, brain and breasts, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, leukemia, infertility, bone marrow problems, nerve damage, and immunity disorders. Even those who have not experienced any of these problems yet but were at the base in the relevant time period can get legal advice.
