What is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act?

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is part of the 2022 Honoring our PACT Act. The law allows victims of toxic water exposure at the military base to claim financial compensation. Previously, technical legal procedures prohibited these injury claims. With the new law, they are now allowed.

Here’s what the PACT Act created:

Who is eligible

People who resided, worked, or otherwise were exposed (including in utero exposure) to water at Camp Lejeune that the United States supplied for not less than 30 days between August 1, 1953, and ending on December 31, 1987.

Where claims are filed

Each case begins with an administrative claim to the Department of the Navy. An administrative claim states the basic details, including the dates of exposure, health conditions and diagnosis, medical treatment, damages including impact on life, and the amount of compensation desired. U.S. officials may choose to extend a settlement offer or allow the case to proceed to a lawsuit.

An individual may not bring a lawsuit before complying with the administrative claims process.

Evidence presented and standard of proof

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act creates a lower standard of proof than is found in many other types of injury claims. That should make it easier for victims to receive compensation.

The law says that a party shall produce evidence sufficient to conclude that a causal relationship exists between the exposure and the health problems; or that a causal relationship is at least as likely as not. People who can show that they lived or worked at Camp Lejeune in the applicable period, along with having a related medical condition, should be able to meet the legal standard.

What If I Am Already Receiving Veterans Health and Disability Benefits?

If you receive veteran’s health or disability benefits, the award you receive through a claim will be offset by the amount of the disability award, payment or benefit provided. The offset applies to programs administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Medicare under title XVII of the Social Security Act, Medicaid under title XIX of the Social Security Act, and other health care and disability programs relating to Camp Lejeune.

Note: We are getting a lot of questions about the possibility of reduced benefits. Rest assured, the bill is written to avoid any impact on VA benefits. In nearly all circumstances, the person making a claim stands to benefit substantially. Our lawyers can answer all your questions and discuss the specifics with you.

Isn’t the government immune from lawsuits?

Government immunity doesn’t apply to Camp Lejeune lawsuits. The law says that the United States may not assert any claim to immunity that might otherwise be available. There is no statute of repose defense. The purpose of the law is to allow people to receive compensation, so it is written in a way that the government cannot claim immunity.

What is the deadline to bring a claim for Camp Lejeune?

Camp Lejeune victims have two years to bring a legal claim from the day the law was passed or 180 days after their administrative claim is denied. Do not wait. Our lawyers can help you prepare everything and start your case.
