Anyone who lived or worked on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune during the period of contamination may have legal rights to compensation if they were injured or became sick. This includes civilian employees and dependents who lived on-base, including while in utero. Anyone who believes their injuries or illness came from contaminated water will need to meet certain qualifications. This may include being present on base for more than 30 days between August 1953 and December 1987. An experienced attorney familiar with Camp Lejeune cases can help people understand their rights.
