Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Attorneys Serving Mississippi

Representing Those Harmed by Toxic Water on MCB Camp Lejeune

If you lived on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, you could have been exposed to carcinogenic contaminated groundwater. Experts tested the water supplied to housing and base facilities on the Jacksonville, North Carolina, military installation and found evidence of several highly toxic and harmful contaminates. These dangerous chemicals have been linked to several fatal illnesses and chronic diseases. Many of the first victims of the Camp Lejeune water contamination crisis didn’t know they’d been exposed to the potentially toxic contaminates for several years. Once the water was tested, many carcinogens were identified, including:

  • Trichloroethylene (TCE)
  • Tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
  • Trans-dichloroethylene 1&2 (DCE)
  • Perchloroethylene
  • Vinyl chloride
  • Benzene

Given the delayed discovery of these harmful toxins, experts estimate as many as a million military servicemembers, civilian contractors, and their families were exposed to at Camp Lejeune. The residents of the base community in Jacksonville, North Carolina, were exposed to the toxic water for nearly 30 years. Through the passage of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, those who’ve been injured or impaired will finally be compensated for their pain and suffering.

If you spent time on the base between 1953 and 1987, call Vollor Law Firm, P.A. today at (662) 269-6188. Our lawyers can begin reviewing your case right away!

Legal Assistance for Victims of the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Crisis

If the toxic water harmed you on Camp Lejeune, you are likely dealing with the severe ramifications of consuming the contaminated water still today. The magnitude of the fallout from this level of contamination will continue to be seen in the serious illnesses and fatalities experienced by former residents of the base community. Many diseases and complications that you may not immediately associate with contaminated water have been linked to exposure to the dangerous water on Camp Lejeune. From congenital disabilities and miscarriages to Parkinson’s Disease, if you lived on the military installation between 1953 and 1987 and you’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness, you may have consumed the carcinogenic water on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. While the government initially refuted claims that water on base was contaminated, the U.S. government has passed and plans to finalize the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. Once completed, victims of the mass contamination event will be allowed to seek compensation for their pain and suffering. Many grave illnesses have been linked to the toxic water found on base at Camp Lejeune, including but not limited to:

  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Leukemia
  • Heart Damage
  • Hepatic Steatosis
  • Myelodysplastic Syndromes
  • Multiple Myeloma
  • Renal Toxicity
  • Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
  • Scleroderma
  • Miscarriage
  • Female Infertility & Birth Defects
  • Other Major Organ and Bodily System Cancers

While the government continues finalizing the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, if you’ve been harmed by the toxic chemicals that contaminated Camp Lejeune’s water supply, you should reach out to the attorneys at Vollor Law Firm, P.A. for a case review and consultation. Our attorneys are committed to helping clients fight for the compensation they deserve.

Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Crisis Exposure Period and Areas

Hazardous chemicals were detected in the water on Camp Lejeune from testing conducted in 1982. The volatile organic compounds found in the water were localized to two water treatment facilities, and many housing communities received water from these facilities from 1953 to 1985, including:

  • Berkeley Manor
  • Hadnot Point
  • Hospital Point
  • Knox Trailer Park (Frenchman's Point)
  • Midway Park
  • Paradise Point
  • Tarawa Terrace
  • Watkins Village

If you lived in any of these communities during the contamination period, you may need to speak to a medical professional and legal representative to determine what actions you should take moving forward. Many of the worst effects of the Camp Lejeune water contamination are seen in later life, so if you are a service member, civilian contractor, or family member who lived on base, you may have more rights and access to medical treatment with the movement of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.
