Fighting for Marines, Families & Civilians Exposed to Contaminated Water
For more than 30 years, service members and families living or working at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune were unknowingly exposed to some of the most toxic chemicals ever found in a U.S. water system. Between 1953 and 1987, the base’s water supply contained solvents, degreasers, fuels, and carcinogens at levels thousands of times higher than federal safety limits.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 now allows victims to bypass previous legal barriers and file claims for the illnesses, cancers, and birth defects linked to the contaminated water.
Carabin Law is actively representing individuals and families impacted by Camp Lejeune’s toxic exposure.
What Contaminated the Water at Camp Lejeune?
Investigations have confirmed that Camp Lejeune’s water contained over 70 hazardous chemicals, including several known human carcinogens. Some were traced to leaking fuel tanks, while others originated from a nearby dry-cleaning facility.

Levels of these chemicals were recorded at up to 3,400 times the legal safety limit—yet the contamination went unaddressed for years.
