You Served Your Country. Now Let Us Serve You.

Between 1953 and 1987, thousands of Marines, families, and civilian workers were unknowingly exposed to highly toxic chemicals in the water supply at Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River. The result: decades of life-altering cancers, neurological disorders, birth defects, and chronic illnesses that should never have happened.

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers stands with those harmed by this preventable tragedy. If you or a loved one lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days during the contamination period and later developed a serious health condition, you may now be eligible to file a lawsuit and pursue long-overdue compensation. You protect our nation. We protect your rights.

What Happened at Camp Lejeune?

According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), multiple water treatment plants at Camp Lejeune were contaminated with dangerous chemicals, including:

  • Trichloroethylene (TCE)
  • Perchloroethylene (PCE)
  • Vinyl Chloride (VC)
  • Benzene

Concentrations were hundreds of times above safe limits, exposing more than a million people to chemicals now known to cause severe and life-threatening diseases.

Documented Health Conditions Linked to Camp Lejeune Water

Research links exposure to a wide range of medical conditions, including:

  • Kidney cancer
  • Liver cancer
  • Bladder cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Cervical, ovarian, or prostate cancer
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Leukemia
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Aplastic anemia & myelodysplastic syndromes
  • Neurological disorders
  • Birth defects, fetal loss & reproductive complications
  • Immune system damage
  • Severe skin disorders
  • Major organ damage

If you or a family member received one of the above diagnoses, or another serious condition, your time at Camp Lejeune may be the cause.

Who Qualifies to File a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit?

You may be eligible if you:

  • Lived or worked at Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River
  • Were present for at least 30 cumulative days
  • During August 1953 – December 1987
  • And later developed one of the illnesses associated with toxic exposure

This includes:

  • Active-duty Marines
  • Veterans
  • Reservists & Guardsmen
  • Civilian employees
  • Spouses, children, and other family members who lived on base

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our attorneys can confirm your eligibility in minutes.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act: Your Right to Seek Compensation

For decades, strict legal barriers prevented veterans and families from suing the government. That changed with the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022, which:

  • Allows victims to file lawsuits in federal court
  • Overrides North Carolina’s statute of repose
  • Provides a two-year window to pursue compensation for toxic exposure
  • Covers wrongful death claims for loved ones who passed away

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for justice, but the filing window is limited. If the deadline expires, your right to compensation may be permanently lost.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.
