## Camp Lejeune: Contaminated Water Injury Claims

Individuals who served at [Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune](https://www.lejeune.marines.mil/) or [Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River in North Carolina](https://www.newriver.marines.mil/) may have been exposed to contaminants in drinking water. Individuals may have been exposed to certain volatile organic compounds (also referred to as VOC) and chemicals, specifically, trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE), benzene and vinyl chloride. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs has previously stated the diagnosis of several illnesses is presumptively linked to exposure to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune from August 1953 to December 1987.

## What is the Camp Lejeune Act of 2022?

The law may not have adequately protected individuals injured by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. In fact, the law may have excluded some claims entirely. Additionally, the United States Government could claim it is immune from being sued related to Camp Lejeune injuries. However, in May 2022, a bill was passed that created an exception to the rule that the government is immune, or protected from, lawsuits. [The Camp Lejeune Act of 2022](https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6482) allows service members and their families to bring claims and seek compensation for injuries as a result of exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

The Act establishes the following criteria for claims:

- Individuals must have lived or worked or been exposed to water at Camp Lejeune for 30 cumulative (total) days from August 1, 1953 to December 31, 1987.
- Individuals must have been exposed to water provided by the United States.
- Individuals must have suffered an exposure-related injury.
