The United States Congress has recently passed The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022. This Act allows individuals, including service members and veterans, who resided, worked or were otherwise exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina to seek financial compensation for injuries and illnesses suffered as a result of the exposure.

• diagnosed with an injuries and illnesses as a result of the exposure.

Under this Act, you have a two-year window to file a claim for damages against the United States Government.

If you lived, worked or served at Marine Corps Base Camp in North Carolina during this time period, you may have had contact with contaminants in the drinking water there.
