On this page, we’ll discuss an overview of the Camp Lejeune Thyroid Cancer Lawsuit, other health conditions linked to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, who qualifies to file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit, and much more.
The drinking water supply at Camp Lejeune and nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River was contaminated with highly toxic substances for over 30 years.
From approximately 1953 until 1987, potentially over one million military service members, National Guard members, private contractors, family members and dependents, and others were exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
Countless Camp Lejeune residents were diagnosed with cancer, birth defects, neurological disorders, and other diseases.
Exposure at Camp Lejeune has been linked to thyroid cancer.
If you’re considering filing a Camp Lejeune thyroid cancer 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 thyroid cancer 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.

TorHoerman Law is no longer accepting clients for this litigation.
Several toxic chemicals seeped into Camp Lejeune’s water between 1953 and 1987.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) capable of causing different cancers, autoimmune conditions, and other health issues were the main contaminants in the water supply.
Besides hazardous VOCs, among the toxic substances found in the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune were cadmium and toluene — chemicals linked to several kinds of cancer, including thyroid cancer.
Scientific studies have linked exposure to these chemicals and VOCs to the development of thyroid cancer.
According to a 2021 study, even low levels of toluene were enough to predispose someone to develop thyroid cancer.
Studies have also looked into the correlation between cadmium exposure and the development of thyroid cancer.
The EPA reported increased levels of cadmium in Camp Lejeune’s water supply.
One study done in the same year suggested that low-level cadmium exposure increased a person’s risk of thyroid cancer.
Based on the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s toxicology profile, cadmium is a known carcinogen.
The scientific evidence mentioned makes up just a small fraction of the research done on the chemicals at Camp Lejeune and thyroid cancer.
If you or a loved one were exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and subsequently developed Thyroid Cancer, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune claim.

Thyroid cancer occurs when malignant cells grow on or around the thyroid gland, a gland located at the base of the throat where the windpipe is.
The thyroid gland is responsible for secreting hormones that regulate everything from metabolism to heart rate.
Hence, any cancerous growth in the gland can lead to chronic fatigue, metabolic problems, and heart rhythm issues.
Exposure to toxic substances can increase the risk of thyroid cancer and other similar health conditions.
Scientific studies on toxic chemicals and thyroid cancer include:
According to the National Cancer Institute, several risk factors can contribute to the development of thyroid cancer.
Causes and risk factors of thyroid cancer include:
It’s important to recognize that having one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean an individual will develop thyroid cancer.
Conversely, many people diagnosed with thyroid cancer may not have any obvious risk factors.
The thyroid gland is one of the organs that help regulate heart contractions.
Hence, one of the complications of thyroid cancer will include cardiovascular complications.
Left unmanaged, thyroid cancer can lead to cardiac arrhythmias that can later progress to a full-blown cardiac arrest.
Due to their location, thyroid cancer cells can easily metastasize to other parts of the body like the lungs and spine.
When the cancer has metastasized to these areas, a patient’s prognosis worsens, warranting more aggressive chemotherapy and thyroid surgery.
The water supply at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with highly toxic substances for over 30 years, and potentially over one million people were exposed.
Countless individuals developed cancer, birth defects, neurological issues, and more.
Many residents and veterans exposed passed away as a result of exposure.
Camp Lejeune victims went years without compensation or acknowledgement for their injuries and illnesses.
Camp Lejeune victims attempted to legislate change several times.
Under the Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, Camp Lejeune victims were able to seek health care benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Affected individuals and their family members applied for health benefits and disability compensation, but many faced denials and not all received VA health care benefits or disability compensation.
It wasn’t until the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 that victims could seek justice on a comprehensive scale.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act established the Camp Lejeune administrative claims process, by which victims can submit compensation claims to the government.
The Navy’s Tort Claims Unit (TCU) will promptly review compensation claims filed.
If victims are denied or if they do not receive a decision within six months of submission, they may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
The North Carolina federal court is handling all Camp Lejeune Lawsuits.
If you or a loved one were exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune claim.

Exposure to toxic substances can increase the risk of thyroid cancer and other similar health conditions.
Victims are filing Camp Lejeune claims for several health problems, as many suffered by former Camp Lejeune residents aren’t named in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) list of presumptive conditions.
Certain cancer diagnoses potentially linked to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune include:
Non-cancer diagnoses suffered by Camp Lejeune victims include:
The water contamination at Camp Lejeune was the result of chemical leakage from several waste disposal sites and underground storage tanks in and around the base.
The leakage of toxic material caused the water at Camp Lejeune to be hazardous to former residents of the base and active duty personnel.
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, two water treatment plants harbored the most contamination:
These plants supplied most of the drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
With these plants contaminated, more than a million residents, including active duty personnel, National Guard members, and families, were exposed to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune
The Environmental Protection Agency identified more than 70 hazardous substances in the contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
Four specific volatile organic compounds were found to be at the highest amounts:
These VOCs have been the cause of many illnesses, ranging from autoimmune diseases to cancer.
To be eligible to file lawsuits under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, claimants must have been exposed to the base’s contaminated water for at least 30 days between 1953 and 1987.
Besides that, victims must have developed illnesses linked to Camp Lejeune’s toxic water supply.
These conditions include:
The strength of your claim rests on being able to prove your exposure to the contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune and that you developed illnesses due to exposure.
To establish both, you will need the right pieces of evidence.
First, you’ll need your military service records.
These records must indicate your stay in the base between 1953 and 1987.
By showing the time and duration of your stay, you can establish your exposure to the contaminated water at the base.
Besides service and residential records, you must also have medical records.
Medical records can be any document containing your thyroid cancer diagnosis and the treatments you’ve received.
Not only will these prove your illness but the financial losses you’ve incurred from surgery or chemotherapy.
Thyroid cancer is both costly and traumatic. Understanding this, our Camp Lejeune lawyers are here to ensure that you receive a fair Camp Lejeune settlement.
By accurately assessing your damages, you can receive a settlement that compensates you for all the harm caused by the base’s toxic water.
We begin by calculating your financial losses.
These losses will include your medical expenses and other treatment costs.
We also add lost wages to the calculation if you were unable to work during your illness.
Our Camp Lejeune attorneys understand the psychological and emotional trauma you may have suffered from battling thyroid cancer.
Hence, we will also include pain and suffering in your damages.
This helps maximize your Camp Lejeune settlement and helps offset any burden you may have suffered.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act empowers victims to take legal action against the parties responsible for the water contamination at Camp Lejeune.
Now, it’s your turn to bring them to justice.
If you’ve developed thyroid cancer and were at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune lawsuit.

The Camp Lejeune Thyroid Cancer Lawsuit is a legal case allowing individuals exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune before 1988 and later diagnosed with thyroid cancer to seek compensation.
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 over $1,000,000 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 treatment for thyroid cancer will depend on the stage of the cancer.

Unfortunately, one of the conditions that disqualifies claimants from recovering VA health care benefits and disability compensation is dishonorable discharge.

However, dishonorably discharged victims can still get compensation by filing lawsuits.
