If you or a loved one were injured from exposure to water at Camp Lejeune contaminated with toxic chemicals such as trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene (PCE or PERC) benzene, or vinyl chloride, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit case or settlement claim.
A team of personal injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential Camp Lejeune lawsuit cases and settlement claims of veterans and other individuals who suffered injury after being exposed to water at Camp Lejeune that was contaminated with chemicals such as trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene (PCE or PERC) benzene, or vinyl chloride.
Numerous studies have linked exposure to one or more of these chemicals to an increased risk of developing cancer, leukemia, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, cardiac issues, neurobehavioral effects, and other serious diseases and illnesses.
Camp Lejeune Trichloroethylene (TCE) Cases
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a volatile, colorless liquid organic chemical that may be associated with the development of cancer (including kidney cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, liver cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer), end-stage renal disease, Parkinson’s disease, scleroderma, miscarriage, neurological effects, birth defects, and other illnesses or disease.
The maximum TCE level detected in drinking water at Camp Lejeune was 1,400 parts per billion (ppb). The EPA’s current safe limit for TCE in drinking water is 5 ppb.
Camp Lejeune Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) Cases
Tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene (also known as PCE, PERC, tetrachloroethene, or perchlor) is colorless liquid chlorocarbon that has been used as a dry cleaning agent (dry-cleaning fluid) and metal degreasing solvent and that may be associated with the development of cancer (including bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer or rectal cancer, esophageal cancer, cervical cancer), end-stage renal disease, neurological effects, birth defects, and other diseases or illness.
The maximum PCE level detected in drinking water at Camp Lejeune was 215 ppb.The EPA’s current safe limit for PCE in drinking water is 5 ppb.
Camp Lejeune Vinyl Chloride Lawsuit Cases
Vinyl chloride (also known as monomer VCM or chloroethene) is a colorless organochloride used to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic polymer of plastic, that may be associated with the development of cancer (including liver cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer, soft tissue cancer), liver cirrhosis and other injuries or medical conditions.
Camp Lejeune Benzene Lawsuit Cases
Benzene is a colorless (or light-yellow) liquid chemical used as solvent in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries that has been potentially linked to cancer (including leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma and other blood cancers and disorders such as aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic syndromes), colorectal cancer, miscarriage, birth defects and other illnesses.
If you or a loved one suffered injury after being exposed to water at Camp Lejeune that was contaminated with toxic chemicals such as TCE, PCE, benzene or vinyl chloride, you may be entitled to compensation from a Camp Lejeune water contamination injury claim.
