Overview of the Ongoing Camp Lejeune Litigation
Located in Onslow County, North Carolina, Camp Lejeune has been a cornerstone of military life, but its legacy is tarnished by prolonged water contamination that exposed residents to harmful chemicals. This exposure has been linked to a range of serious health issues, from cancers to birth defects affecting military personnel and their families who lived on the base between the 1950s and 1980s.
Recognizing the gravity of their plight, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 was enacted, allowing those affected to seek justice and compensation. Watts Law Firm LLP remains at the forefront, advocating not just for compensation but for enduring change that enhances safety and oversight to prevent future crises.
Our commitment is unwavering to the individuals and families deeply affected by this tragedy. We are dedicated to navigating these complex legal issues, ensuring that those impacted by the Camp Lejeune water contamination receive the justice they rightfully deserve.
