Support is Now Available for Camp Lejeune Female Infertility Victims
Patients suffering harm after their exposure to toxic water at Camp Lejeune received positive news when The Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) was passed on August 10, 2022.
The act removed legal obstacles for victims and their families hoping to seek compensation after suffering from major health issues. Women who developed infertility after coming in contact with Camp Lejeune’s chemically tainted water can finally ask the Department of Defense for financial support.
The families of victims who didn’t live long enough to seek justice for the harm they were subjected to can also file claims.
Female Infertility Caused by the Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Crisis
Female infertility is a condition that leaves women unable to get pregnant and/or have a normal pregnancy. The Cleveland Clinic details that infertility treatments are usually explored after a woman has had issues getting pregnant for longer than a year. The most often cause of female infertility is when a woman is no longer producing eggs. There are many health issues that may cause this lack of egg production.
The difficult cycle of trying to get pregnant and being unable to conceive will be traumatic for the victim and the victim’s spouse. Women can struggle with feelings of inadequacy and experience depression and even grief as the failure to get pregnant and give birth to a child stretches on. These are feelings that many women who were subjected to the hazardous chemicals in Camp Lejeune’s water supply have likely confronted.
Tetrachloroethylene (TCE) is just one chemical detected in the water systems at Camp Lejeune in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. The EPA documents that TCE inhalation has been linked to reproductive issues.
Another chemical found in well water was Benzene. There is some evidence that links reproductive issues with benzene contact. Ovary, vulva, and cervical cancer are other associated risks with some of the chemicals found in Camp Lejeune water supplies.
Camp Lejeune Female Infertility Long-Term Effects
Correcting female infertility can be difficult. Surgery and/or drug therapies are often prescribed. Sadly, in some cases, conception may never be possible.
The root cause of female infertility could end up being life-threatening. In other cases, the biggest harm will be the emotional trauma this disease will cause for women and their loved ones. It’s critical that Camp Lejeune contaminated water infertility sufferers seek the maximum in compensation for the physical and emotional pain they’ve experienced, perhaps for decades.
The Camp Lejeune toxic water infertility lawyers at Maison Law understand the trauma involved for patients. That’s why our attorneys work closely with California residents to seek to earn full support from the U.S. Government for clients and their families.
