About the Situation at Camp Lejeune

Between 1953 and 1987, the groundwater and well water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with toxic chemicals, including vinyl chloride, benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE or PERC). The leadership at the base camp knew of the contamination but failed to take any action, resulting in the contamination lasting decades. Because of that, millions of people (including Marines, other military servicemembers, non-military staff, civilians, etc.) were exposed to the contaminated water, resulting in many different dangerous medical conditions. Of course, many pregnant women were exposed to the contaminated water. The toxins in the contaminated water are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage.

Do I Have the Right to Sue if I Miscarried after Exposure to Toxic Water at Camp Lejeune?

Yes – you could have the right to sue under the PACT Act. The Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act is a new law that includes the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. The law was signed into law on August 10, 2022. Under the PACT Act, all parties who were exposed to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and suffered harm, including miscarriages and pregnancy losses, have the right to file a lawsuit against the U.S. government. The PACT Act gives claimants a two-year window (from the date that it was signed to law) to file their lawsuits with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Those who lived at or worked at the Marine Corps base camp for at least 30 days from 1953 to 1987 can file a lawsuit. Anyone who was dishonorably discharged is ineligible to file a lawsuit.

What does this all mean for you? Under the PACT Act, you could definitely have the right to file a lawsuit for the miscarriage(s) that you suffered due to your exposure to the toxic chemicals in the Camp Lejeune water supply.
