at Camp Lejeune became contaminated with volatile chemicals and substances including benzene, perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) and vinyl chloride. These chemicals are dangerous to human health and have been deemed carcinogenic by public health officials. When a substance is classified as carcinogenic, it means the substance has the potential to cause a variety of cancers, as well as health problems like infertility and miscarriages in women. For example, two of the identified chemical compounds (TCE and PCE) are known to disrupt menstrual cycles and fertility in women.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Studies_Link_the_Toxic_Water_Supply_at_Camp_Lejeune_with_Birth_Defects_Infertility_and_Miscarriages\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies Link the Toxic Water Supply at Camp Lejeune with Birth Defects, Infertility and Miscarriages<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After it was discovered that military service members, their loved ones, and civilian workers at Camp Lejeune were exposed to dangerous chemicals through the water supply, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atsdr.cdc.gov\/sites\/lejeune\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> launched multiple studies to try and assess the potential health risks and impact of exposure. The ATSDR studies identified a link between the toxic chemicals in the Camp Lejeune water supply and serious medical conditions including multiple types of cancer, infertility in women, and birth defects in infants. For example, a 2015 study of Camp Lejeune health problems noted that exposure to chemicals like perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) can affect menstrual cycles and fertility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pursue_Financial_Restitution_for_Your_Harms_and_Losses_Through_a_Legal_Claim\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pursue Financial Restitution for Your Harms and Losses Through a Legal Claim<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or a loved one have suffered miscarriages or are struggling with infertility after being exposed to the contaminated water supply at Camp Lejeune, you may have grounds to file a legal claim enabling the pursuit of financial restitution for your harms and losses.

Why? Because the aforementioned CLJA contains a statutory limitation on the amount of time claimants have to take legal action. Specifically, claimants have two years from the date the federal law was enacted to take legal action. This may sound like plenty of time, but bear in mind the time investment necessary to obtain relevant records that will substantiate and strengthen your Camp Lejeune water contamination claim. This is why it makes sense to take action now. One of the best first steps is to get connected with an experienced attorney to discuss whether you have a viable claim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_are_Ready_to_Link_You_to_a_Knowledgeable_Camp_Lejeune_Water_Contamination_Attorney\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are Ready to Link You to a Knowledgeable Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Attorney<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or a loved one lived, were stationed, or worked at the Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina between 1953 and 1987 for at least 30 days, consider contacting an attorney to discuss your legal options.
