Breast cancer claims

Eligibility requirements for veterans and family members who want to file a Camp Lejeune toxic water claim

For nearly 35 years, the drinking water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with volatile organic compounds, including trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, benzene, 1,2-dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride. Moreover, tremendous PFAS concentrations also lurked in the drinking water. A study by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry found that solvent exposure might possibly accelerate the onset of male breast cancer. If you have breast cancer, either as a man or woman, and intend to file a Camp Lejeune toxic water claim, here are the eligibility criteria you have to meet:

• you must have been discharged from the military other than dishonorably
• you must have drunk toxic water at Camp Lejeune for a significant time
• you must have stayed at the military base for at least 30 consecutive days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987
• you must have a breast cancer diagnosis that is related to toxic exposure

The family members of veterans who lived at Camp Lejeune can also file a claim if they developed breast cancer. Our legal team will need proof of their stay at the military base and their medical records. If we determine that you are eligible, we will start preparing your claim for submission as soon as possible. It is important to note that lead, one of the most harmful metals, was also present in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune in a concentration of 484 ppb when the safe exposure limit is only 5 ppb.
