Kidney cancer and kidney disease may have the strongest link to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune than any other disease or injury. Camp Lejeune kidney cancer lawsuits will be very strong claims in a courtroom.

But few of these Camp Lejeune kidney cancer lawsuits will ever go to trial. Our attorneys expect the government will offer reasonable settlement amounts to settle these claims out of court. Some may settle during the six-month administrative window required before filing a Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuit.

Why do we think settlement amounts will be offered in kidney cancer Camp Lejeune lawsuits? The link between TCE, a ubiquitous toxin in the water at Lejeune, and kidney cancer is clear.

For over 3 decades, ending in the late 1980s, the Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina supplied residents and employees with drinking water that was heavily contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals.  It has been shown that exposure to these chemicals in the water caused Camp Lejeune residents and employees to develop various types of cancer.

Camp Lejeune lawyers have joined with the government’s attorneys to file a joint memorandum requesting coordination or partial consolidation and the issuance of an initial case management order for all Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 lawsuits.  If this motion is granted, there will technically not be a Camp Lejuene class action lawsuit.  But consolidation would bring many of the features of a class action lawsuit.

Background to Motion to Consolidate Camp Lejeune Lawsuits

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA), enacted on August 10, 2022, has led to lawsuits filed by individuals exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987. The Act, part of the Honoring Our PACT Act, allows individuals, including veterans, to seek relief for harm caused by exposure to contaminated water even though the statute of limitations on these claims has already passed.

Marines and employees at the Camp Lejeune military base in North Carolina were unknowingly exposed to carcinogenic chemicals in their drinking water for three decades spanning the 1950s to the 1980s. Scientific studies have concluded that these chemicals cause serious adverse health consequences for these individuals.

Aplastic anemia is one of the diseases that has been conclusively linked to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

Our firm is accepting cases from individuals who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune and were diagnosed with aplastic anemia or similar conditions.
