“Camp Lejeune is a United States Marine Corps base located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Camp Lejeune was created in 1941 to train for amphibious landings thanks to miles and miles of the Carolina coastline. Today, Camp Lejeune occupies 246 square miles of land, 14 miles of beaches and 450 miles of service roads and facilities to support 150,000 service members, families and civilians. North Carolina has one of the largest military footprints of any State”

Many service members and civilians who lived on the North Carolina Military Base from August 1953 through December 1987 are filing lawsuits after developing serious illness and cancers after consuming chemically contaminated water.
Over the last three decades, the military base’s water supply had been soiled after hazardous materials were discarded improperly, leaking into soil and ground water at the base. Over that time, families suffered miscarriages on the base. Most of those exposed to the toxic chemicals are still being diagnosed with deadly diseases, and different cancers, including Parkinson’s. Childers, Schlueter & Smith is currently working on helping those service members and civilians to build their cases.
The PACT act made it possible for cases to be filed regarding water contamination, as well as other cases where military service people and civilians were exposed to harmful chemicals and substances on duty. More specifically, to honor the PACT Act the Camp Lejeune Justice Act became law August 10, 2022, exempting the rule that military members could not file lawsuits for injuries sustained while serving.
