Toxic Water Contamination Claims

OVERVIEW

In 1982, the Marine Corps discovered toxic water contamination in a majority of the water supply for base housing at Camp Lejeune. The compounds found in the water supply have since been linked with several illnesses, including Parkinson’s disease, cardiac defects, and several types of deadly cancer, including kidney cancer and breast cancer. People at risk for developing these illnesses include Marines, Sailors, and their families, along with civilian (GS) employees who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for more than 30 days prior to 1988.

To help people affected by the contamination, a bill has been passed known as the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. The bill enables prior residents, employees, and their families to receive financial compensation.

History of Toxic Exposure

The decades this exposure went on were some of the busiest for Camp Lejeune. Lejeune is home to the Weapons Training Battalion and serves as a primary combat and infantry training facility for new Marines. The infantry MOS is one of the most common in this branch of service. The training course to ready new Marines for duty is a two-month program, meaning tens of thousands of young men and women were exposed to these toxic agents.

Military service requires risk and sacrifice from both the members and their loved ones by its very nature. That risk should not be found in their homes. The exposure was avoidable and unnecessary, and it caused immeasurable harm. No one should have to suffer this way to serve their country.

Ray F.

My situation with my health and physical mobility was in a downward spiral. A friend of mine reminded me about Rutter Mills. I immediately got on the phone, and they made me an appointment for a free consultation. I explained everything to them, and the rest is history. I was told by everyone else it would take years to get disability, but with Rutter Mills on the job, I had results within a year. My attorney, along with his staff and the Rutter Mills family, made it happen. 100% . I would recommend them to anyone else in need of help for any situations that arise in your life. Thank you, Rutter Mills and family.
