Lawyers Fighting for Veterans Harmed by Camp Lejeune Water

For more than 30 years, toxic waste was dumped directly onto the sandy soil of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Industrial solvents, benzene, dry cleaning fluids, lead, fuel and other toxic waste seeped into the water table and poisoned the water supply.

Everyone who drank the water at Camp Lejeune from the 1950s through the 1980s was exposed to harmful contaminants.

Hundreds of Thousands of Veterans at Risk

An estimated 900,000 active-duty and reserve personnel were assigned to Camp Lejeune while toxins were leeching into the water supply. Roughly, 500,000 of these veterans are believed to be still alive. Thousands of them have developed serious illnesses associated with consuming the contaminated water.

If you served at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and later developed a health problem, you may be eligible to obtain veterans benefits. The VA disability attorneys of the Law Office of Michael James Kelley represent Marine Corps veterans who developed medical conditions and diseases after serving at Camp Lejeune.
