Camp Lejeune Claims for Bladder Cancer
As previously discussed on our blog, Marine Corps veterans, family members, non-military civilian workers, contractors, and any other person who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953 and December 31, 1987 are now entitled to recover money damages for harm from exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The VA and Agency on Toxic Substances and Diseases Registry have performed comprehensive studies that show that bladder cancer can be caused by specific contaminants in the water supply at Camp Lejeune. Individuals who qualify for these new claims, however, must prove that their bladder cancer was caused by the contaminated water. The new law requires that it be at least as likely as not that the bladder cancer was caused by exposure to these harmful contaminants.
Learn more at the VA’s site.
If you or a loved one who qualifies under the new law were diagnosed with bladder cancer or passed away from bladder cancer, you may be entitled to compensation.
The timeframe to file a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit is limited, and the timeframe to file has already begun, so it is essential to act quickly. All injury claims that occurred before the passage of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act will have two years from the passing of the act to file their case. The bill became law on August 10, 2022, which means all of these claims must be filed before August 9, 2024 or be forever barred.

“We would like to express our gratitude to you (Hunt Willis) for accepting our case. First of all, when I called this law firm, a very sweet and kind lady answered the telephone and gave me assurance by asking and going over the accident with me, while my husband was in the hospital. I felt assured I was doing the right thing for us. She was so helpful in so many ways. What a professional lady. Secondly, we are much pleased that you have settled this case with the insurance company to receive the proper amount to assist us in so many ways. My husband and I are very happy with you and the firm in handling our case. You made us have confidence in your professional and integrity along with your assistant Ms. Routh, when you both came to see us in our home, in which we saw your compassion and thoughtfulness at that time. We will never forget what you have done for us, and we thank the lord for directing me to contact this firm. I’m glad I did.”
