Specifically, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act contained these provisions:
The law creates a federal cause of action to sue the government for the harm resulting from exposure to toxic Camp Lejeune water.
The right of action applies to people who experienced exposure to Camp Lejeune water for at least 30 days between August 1, 1953, and ending on December 31, 1987
The plaintiff must produce evidence that shows a causal relationship between exposure and the harm exists or that a causal relationship is at least as likely as not.
Any damage award decreases by the disability benefits that the injured service member previously received.
You must meet the same evidence standard as any other personal injury case in proving your Camp Lejeune claim. You are not assured financial compensation just because you served or lived at Camp Lejeune and developed certain illnesses. Your attorney will need a specific understanding of the science and how the contaminated water may have caused your illness to prove your claim.
