Camp LeJeune Water Contamination Case
Poulin | Willey files first administrative claim on behalf of Camp LeJeune Contaminated Water Victims
[Charleston, SC, 8.10.2022] - Poulin | Willey | Anastopoulo is believed to be the first in the
nation to file a claim for administrative relief immediately after President Biden’s signing of the
Camp LeJeune Act. That signing allows victims who were injured due to the consumption of
contaminated water while working, visiting, or living in Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, to file
administrative claims which will then allow the filing of lawsuits should the administrative claims
not be successful.
“The signing of this bill is a massive victory for the Camp LeJeune Community and we are proud
to be able to join the fight in representing those who are going to be affected by it,” said Paul
Doolittle, the firm’s Chair of Class Actions & Mass Torts.
From the 1950s through the 1980s, people living, working, and visiting Marine Corp Base Camp
LeJeune were exposed to drinking water contaminated with industrial solvents, benzene and
other chemicals. In the years that have followed, these chemicals have been tied to a litany of
medical issues, including various forms of cancer, including lymphoma and brain cancer, which
previously were unrecoverable.
Importantly these claims are different and distinct from VA disability benefits.
Poulin | Willey | Anastopoulo looks forward to assisting Veterans and their families in receiving
the benefits they fought so hard to earn. If you or someone you know worked, lived, or visited
Camp LeJeune between 1953-1987, you may be eligible for compensation. Visit
