Camp Lejeune Contamination Chemical Waste

Camp Lejeune was home to those serving the United States Marine Corps as well as family members who lived on the base. During this time, these people were ingesting and bathing in tap water every day that was contaminated with dangerous chemicals. Years later, these former base residents and their families began to see a development of cancer and other health issues. As more and more information became available, a few red flags were raised in regard to chemical waste disposal and the knowledge of this hazardous act.

Some of those residents who lived on the Camp Lejeune base and drank the contaminated water stated they believed officials knew about the presence of dangerous chemical substances within the tap water. These allegations led to further investigations to determine who in fact was aware of the Camp Lejeune water contamination.

As of August 2012, The Janey Ensminger Act was signed into law by President Obama. This act ensures that the people who have suffered from the Camp Lejeune water contamination are eligible for medical treatment. The Act will apply to approximately 750,000 people who have suffered from medical issues following their stay at Camp Lejeune.

If you or a loved one has lived on the Camp Lejeune base and believes to have suffered from medical complications following ingestion of the tap water, you may be entitled to compensation. Camp Lejeune water contamination continues to plague thousands of individuals across the country and McKay Law is here to help.
