Camp Lejeune Kidney Cancer Lawsuit

Kidney Cancer Linked to Toxic Water at Camp Lejeune

For over 30 years, dangerous chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contaminated the water supply at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.

Over 1 million military service members, civilian employees, and families were exposed to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. Exposure to VOCs has been linked to multiple serious medical conditions, including kidney cancer.

In fact, one study found that U.S. Marines who served at Camp Lejeune from 1975 to 1985 had a 35% higher risk of kidney cancer than those stationed at Camp Pendleton, a military base that didn’t have contaminated water.

If you or a loved one was diagnosed with kidney cancer as a result of the toxic water at Camp Lejeune, you may now be eligible for compensation from a lawsuit thanks to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.

Thousands have already filed, and the U.S. government is actively evaluating claims — but you only have a small window left to take action!

Who Can File Camp Lejeune Kidney Cancer Lawsuits?

You may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune kidney cancer lawsuit if you or your loved:

• Resided or worked at Camp Lejeune between August 1953 and December 1987
• Spent at least 30 days on base (consecutively or over the years)
• Has since been diagnosed with kidney cancer

Even if your loved one passed away decades ago, you may be eligible for compensation from a Camp Lejeune wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf.

At Sokolove Law, there are no hourly or out-of-pocket costs. We only get paid if your case results in compensation.

Determining Camp Lejeune Kidney Cancer Settlement Amounts

To settle Camp Lejeune claims, the Congressional Budget Office has projected spending over $6.1 Billion between 2022 and 2031, with billions more potentially becoming available after that.

Each case is unique, and there are numerous factors that can affect potential Camp Lejeune settlement amounts.

Camp Lejeune kidney cancer settlements may be influenced by:

• The extent of immediate and long-term medical expenses
• The pain and suffering experienced by the victim
• The length of time spent at Camp Lejeune
• Whether the victim died or had their life expectancy significantly shortened
• Whether a loss of income or earning potential occurred as a result of the kidney cancer diagnosis

Our lawyers can fight to maximize your compensation from a Camp Lejeune kidney cancer lawsuit.

How the Camp Lejeune Justice Act Affects Kidney Cancer Victims

Signed into law in August 2022, the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act expands the benefits offered to veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during military service, including those affected by the water at Camp Lejeune.

As part of the PACT Act, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 allows civilian workers, veterans, and their families to file a lawsuit for any injuries arising from the toxic water exposure on base.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act also provides veterans and their loved ones with more time to take legal action over injuries that occurred decades ago.

At Sokolove Law, we’re proud to work with Ed Bell, the champion of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.
