On this page, we’ll discuss an overview of the Camp Lejeune Cognitive Disability Lawsuit, other health conditions linked to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, who qualifies to file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit, and much more.
For over three decades, from approximately 1953 to 1987, the water supply at Camp Lejeune and nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River was contaminated with highly toxic substances linked to cancer and other serious health conditions.
Exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune has been linked to a broad range of neurological disorders and cognitive disabilities.
If you’re considering filing a Camp Lejeune cognitive disability lawsuit, you likely have some questions.
Below, our attorneys look at the studies conducted on the water contamination at Camp Lejeune and evidence linking these substances to cognitive disabilities and other conditions.
If you or a loved one lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune claim.

Experienced Camp Lejeune lawyers can help you secure adequate compensation for exposure to toxic chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune.
Reach out to us today for more information and to find out how we can help you.
TorHoerman Law is no longer accepting clients for this litigation.
The water at Camp Lejeune was found to be contaminated between 1953 and 1987.
Organizations like the Environmental Protection Agency and The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) discovered a myriad of toxic chemicals in Camp Lejeune’s water supply.
The ATSDR discovered at least seventy toxic chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune, with the four most prominent contaminants being:
These chemicals have been linked to various cancers and autoimmune conditions — and all were in high concentrations in Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water supply between 1953 and 1987.
As a result, during these years, Camp Lejeune veterans and their family members were exposed to the water and developed a range of conditions.
Some of the illnesses discovered were found in children born during the three-decade water contamination period at Camp Lejeune.
These illnesses ranged from cardiac birth defects to other congenital disorders.
Besides these congenital disorders, cognitive disabilities afflicted many children born between 1953 and 1987 at Camp Lejeune.
Camp Lejeune victims who have suffered from neurological disorders, cognitive disabilities, or any other intellectual disability linked to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the water at Camp Lejeune may be eligible to file a claim.
If you or your child received a diagnosis of intellectual disabilities, and you were exposed to Camp Lejeune’s water between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to join others filing Camp Lejeune lawsuits.

Cognitive disabilities encompass a collection of mental and sensory impairments.
These impairments limit cognitive functioning and adaptive behavior.
Cognitive disabilities are often lifelong conditions that hinder a person’s ability to learn and retain information.
Affected individuals also have challenges with problem-solving, reasoning, and adapting to new situations.
In short, these disabilities can have severe consequences on a child’s ability to live an independent life.
Prenatal exposure to toxic substances like the TCE and PCE found in contaminated water at Camp Lejeune may increase the risk for cognitive disabilities and learning disabilities.
There has been a long-standing consensus about the connection between prenatal chemical exposure and the development of intellectual disabilities in children.
A 2018 study published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health suggests that even mild prenatal VOC exposure can predispose a growing fetus to develop an intellectual disability.
These findings were echoed by another study published two years later in the Journal of Environmental Research.
In 2021, another study highlighted how prenatal VOC exposure leads to the development of intellectual disabilities.
The study was a longitudinal cohort study that examined the effects of prenatal VOC exposure on 12-month-old children.
Based on the study’s findings, the majority of the examined children of exposed mothers displayed signs of neurodevelopmental delays.
Cognitive disabilities can be caused by several different things.
Listed below are different causes of cognitive disabilities in children:
Cognitive disabilities can be associated with various complications and challenges that affect an individual’s daily life and overall well-being.
The specific complications can vary widely depending on the severity of the cognitive disability and the presence of any co-occurring conditions.
Here are some common complications and challenges associated with cognitive disabilities:
In the worst-case scenario, a cognitive disability can occur alongside other neurodevelopmental conditions.
Some examples of co-occurring conditions are attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Exposure to Camp Lejeune’s contaminated drinking water can lead to various cognitive disabilities.
Intellectual disabilities suffered by Camp Lejeune victims include:
The drinking water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with toxic chemicals for over 30 years, from approximately 1953 to 1987.
During that time, active duty military service members, their dependents, civilian workers, National Guard members, and others consumed contaminated drinking water without knowing the health risks associated with the toxic water contamination.
For decades, those exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune went without proper acknowledgment, relief, or compensation from Camp Lejeune officials and the federal government.
The Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012 attempted to secure expanded VA health care benefits, disability compensation, and other forms of relief, but many veterans and family members faced denials.
It wasn’t until the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 that Camp Lejeune veterans and victims could finally seek justice on a comprehensive scale.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act was signed into law under the Honoring Our PACT Act, and establishes the Camp Lejeune administrative claims process.
Under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, victims can file compensation claims with the federal government and demand a certain amount of compensation for Camp Lejeune linked health conditions and related damages.
The Navy’s Tort Claims Unit (TCU) handles this process and will promptly review compensation claims filed.
If the Navy TCU does not adjudicate a claim or deliver a decision within six months, victims may be eligible to file Camp Lejeune Lawsuits in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina federal court.
Experienced Camp Lejeune lawyers can help victims throughout the administrative claims process and subsequent Camp Lejeune litigation if necessary.
Consuming water contaminated with toxic chemicals can result in a number of serious health conditions.
Camp Lejeune veterans, their family members, and others exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune have reported numerous health conditions, both cancer and non-cancer.
Certain cancer diagnoses potentially linked to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune include:
Non-cancer diagnoses suffered by Camp Lejeune victims include:
Camp Lejeune victims can pursue claims without the help of law firms, but it is highly recommended to work with experienced Camp Lejeune lawyers to accurately demand the full amount of compensation you deserve in a Camp Lejeune settlement.
If you or a loved one lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between 1953 and 1987, and developed any of the above health problems, you may be eligible to pursue a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit.

Camp Lejeune’s contaminated water was the result of chemicals seeping from waste disposal sites in and around Camp Lejeune.
The chemicals from these sites infiltrated two of the eight water treatment plants that served Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River.
The water treatment plants with the highest concentrations of solvents and VOCs were the Hadnot Point Treatment Plant and the Tarawa Terrace Treatment Plant.
Various agencies like the ATSDR identified 70 toxic substances and chemical solvents in Camp Lejeune’s water supply.
Of these toxic substances, there were four that were most significant:
These substances are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have been linked to cancer, non-cancer illnesses, and cognitive disabilities.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 is a piece of legislation filed in response to the limitations of the Camp Lejeune Families Act.
Before 2022, the Camp Lejeune Families Act was already in place for the families affected by the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
This act enabled affected victims and their family members to claim VA benefits, ranging from disability benefits to health care benefits.
Unfortunately, many of the claims filed before the Department of Veterans Affairs have yet to be approved.
Because many victims were denied their benefits, Congress and President Biden signed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act into law.
The Act enables any affected individual to file a Camp Lejeune water lawsuit to recover compensation for the harm caused by the contaminated water.
Also, with the provisions within the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, victims can claim the benefits they couldn’t recover through the traditional administrative claims process.
Under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, victims can file claims if they were exposed to the water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 for at least 30 days.
The process for claims filed under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act can seem daunting, but an experienced Camp Lejeune lawyer can help you throughout.
If you or a loved one were exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune claim.

Cognitive disabilites experienced by children born at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 include the following:
The settlement amount for each individual case will differ based upon the injuries suffered, conditions diagnosed, time spent at the base, and more.
Lawsuit settlements would also contain damages incurred, which can include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional damages, and more.
Depending on injuries suffered, conditions diagnosed, and evidence available, individual settlement amounts for exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune could be significant.
Camp Lejeune water contamination settlement amounts could be between $10,000 and $500,000 or more depending on the strength of your case.
These estimates for Camp Lejeune settlement amounts are only estimations based on the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) budget for Camp Lejeune claims.
These estimates are not a guarantee by any means of certain compensation for Camp Lejeune settlements.
Visit this page for more updates on settlement amounts for Camp Lejeune lawsuits as the information becomes more widely available.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act is a new law that was enacted as part of the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act in 2022.
The CLJA allows victims to file compensation claims against the federal government, and if those claims are unsuccessful, pursue Camp Lejeune litigation in federal court.
Camp Lejeune water contamination occurred due to improper waste disposal practices on- and off-base, dangerous chemicals leaking from underground storage tanks, and other exposure routes.
These toxic substances entered water treatment plants that served drinking water at Camp Lejeune.

I can’t say enough how grateful I was to have TorHoerman Law help with my case. Jacob Plattenberger is very knowledgeable and an amazing lawyer. Jillian Pileczka was so patient and kind, helping me with questions that would come up. Even making sure my special needs were taken care of for meetings.
