Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit in Mississippi

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, enacted as part of the PACT Act, allows people who lived or worked at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina between 1953 and 1987 and were exposed to contaminated drinking water to bring claims for certain qualifying health conditions. Claims are first filed with the U.S. Navy and, if not resolved, may proceed in federal court.

Whether someone may qualify for a Camp Lejeune claim generally depends on factors such as the diagnosis or injury, the history of using or being exposed to the product, and when the condition was diagnosed. The clearest way to find out is a confidential case review. People's Justice is not a law firm; we connect people with attorneys who can evaluate their individual situation.

Yes. Each state sets a statute of limitations — a legal deadline for filing — and the time limit varies by state and can depend on when you discovered your injury. Because these deadlines can be strict and missing one may permanently bar a claim, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Many attorneys who handle Camp Lejeune claims work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning their fee is typically a percentage of any recovery rather than an upfront payment; the specific terms are set in the agreement between the client and the attorney. A confidential case review can explain how this would work for an individual situation. People's Justice is not a law firm.

Compensation in injury and product-liability claims can include categories such as medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Whether any compensation is available, and how much, depends entirely on the specific facts of each case, and no outcome can be promised. An attorney can explain what may apply to your situation during a free review.
