The Camp Lejeune Justice Act for Pregnancy Complications and Birth Defect Victims

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) was signed into law in August of 2022. The act allows victims who were harmed by Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water to file injury claims against the Department of Defense.

Those eligible will include parents who suffered from complications like infertility, miscarriages or had children with birth defects and developmental disorders. Children born to mothers who were exposed to the chemicals in the Marine Corps Base’s water supply could also be eligible for the harm they suffered in utero or after birth and during their time growing up in Camp Lejeune housing.

To receive compensation, parents must show they served, lived, or worked at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days at any point between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987. The children of parents who suffered illness must prove their parents were at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more. The 30 days of exposure do not have to have been on consecutive days.

Camp Lejeune Pregnancy and Child Development Issues

It’s a sad possibility that many parents trying to conceive children during their time at Camp Lejeune and afterward may have suffered infertility issues and pregnancy complications without knowing the harm toxic water had caused.

Children may have been born with life-altering abnormalities and malformations without their parents suspecting the harm that Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water caused.

The list of fertility, pregnancy, and congenital problems linked to contact with the chemicals known to be in Camp Lejeune’s Water treatment plants over a nearly 35-year period continues to grow.

These are just a few of the conditions that may earn victims Camp Lejeune Justice Act Settlement money. You may click on them to see additional information Maison Law has prepared for victims:

Who is Eligible for Fertility and Infant Injuries Compensation?

These health issues may make parents eligible to receive compensation for years of medical bills and lost income for themselves and their children under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. Those qualifying may be Marine veterans and any military personnel who spent time at Camp Lejeune during the qualifying decades.

The family members of military veterans, including the spouses who lived on Camp Lejeune, would qualify. The children born on Camp Lejeune or who grew up in base housing could be eligible. Civilian contractors working on the base, or the children born to them might earn CLJA compensation.

The close relatives of those who have, sadly, passed on before the Camp Lejeune Justice Act was passed may also file a wrongful death claim under the CLJA.

It’s critical that anyone living in California who suspects they may have suffered harm from Camp Lejeune toxic water contact a Camp Lejeune Justice Act Lawyer. Knowing if you or a loved one may qualify and how to best secure a settlement is critical to your family’s future. Your California lawyer reviews your case and then makes sure that if you’re eligible your case is filed within the deadline and with plenty of evidence to back up your claim.

How Long Do I Have to File a Camp Lejeune Justice Act Fertility and Birth Defect Claim?

Victims and their family members have up to two years from the passage of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act to file a claim. The CLJA was signed into law on August 10, 2022. If you wait beyond August 10, 2024, you’ll likely have your case thrown out.

It’s a smart idea to take action as soon as you can. Talk to a qualified Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Attorney and find out if you qualify. If you do, allow your attorney to start immediately gathering medical documents and invoices. Your attorney will need to find service and work records proving you were on base for more than 30 days.

This proof may go back 30 years or more, so giving your attorney as much time to research your illness as possible is critical.
