Over the course of four decades, contaminated drinking water at North Carolina’s U.S. Marine Core Base Camp Lejeune put hundreds of thousands of people at risk for cancer and other serious illnesses. Between 1953 and 1987, two of the eight wells at Camp Lejeune were contaminated with harmful chemicals known to cause cancer and other severe illnesses. These wells supplied contaminated drinking water to children at daycare or school, to military families for drinking and bathing, to patients in the hospital, and to servicemembers and civilian workers in their place of employment. Fifteen different illnesses and medical conditions including several types of cancer, reproductive problems, birth defects, and Parkinson’s disease have been linked to Camp Lejeune water contamination.
water supply was contaminated with a frightening mix of toxic substances — four core chemicals:
The contamination resulted in exposures up to 280 times over the recommended safety limits.
Over one million Marines, Marine families and civilian workers at Camp Lejeune were exposed to these toxins.

The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our PACT Act of 2022 (“PACT Act”) allows historic relief to all generations of toxic- exposed veterans and those that worked at Camp Lejeune. This bill allows individuals who were exposed to the contaminated water for at least 30 days, the ability to exercise their constitutional right to legal action.
Also, the Veterans Family Care act of 2012 also provides benefits for those affected.
The PACT Act will give lawyers the ability to assist in taking care of the veterans that agreed to give up their lives for our constitutional rights. We believe there is no more important litigation for you and your firm to assist with.

In tort law, a duty of care is a legal obligation which is imposed on an individual requiring adherence to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others. It is the first element that must be established to proceed with an action in negligence. The claimant must be able to show a duty of care imposed by law which the defendant has breached. In turn, breaching a duty may subject an individual to liability. The duty of care may be imposed by operation of law between individuals with no current direct relationship (familial or contractual or otherwise), but eventually become related in some manner, as defined by common law (meaning case law).
