Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022
The Camp LejeuneJustice Act of 2022 is a bipartisan bill intended to ensure that individuals – veterans, their family members or other individuals living or working at the base between 1953 and 1987 – who were harmed by water contamination at Camp Lejeune receive fair compensation. Many of these individuals have had their claims inappropriately denied or delayed, resulting in additional harm.
The Bill is making its way through Congress as part of the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives on March 4, 2022. The Act will permit people who worked, lived, or were exposed in-utero, to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, to file a claim in U.S. federal court.
People or loved ones of those who lived, worked, or were stationed at Camp Lejeune who experienced a water toxicity-related illness may be eligible for compensation.
What does Camp Lejeune Justice Act Do?
The legislation will remove legal barriers that have unfairly denied Camp Lejeune families their day in court. If it passes, they will be able to file lawsuits in the district court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Senator Tillis, who is a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs and Judiciary Committees, co-sponsored The Janey Ensminger Act in 2019 to provide VA medical care for Marines and their families who have been exposed to toxic water at Camp Lejeune. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act gives those families and individuals the same opportunity to pursue compensation in court that other U.S. citizens are guaranteed.
OnderLaw has a history of standing with veterans whose lives and rights have been trampled on by corporate greed. We believe it is unacceptable for those who fight for our country to be treated with indifference or worse when it comes to their most basic health and safety.
We urge the U.S. Senate to pass this important bill, and we’re standing with Marines and their families, as well as contract workers and others who drank toxic water at Camp Lejeune and developed cancer or pregnancy and birth problems.
