PFAS Water Contamination Lawsuit Attorney in Jacksonville, North Carolina

Jacksonville, NC sits between Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River — two installations with both the historic volatile organic compound (VOC) water contamination covered by the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 AND PFAS contamination from AFFF firefighting foam operations that is handled through MDL 2873. These are legally separate claims: Camp Lejeune Justice Act claims compensate for VOC exposure (TCE, PCE, benzene) and require filing in the Eastern District of North Carolina under a special federal law. PFAS personal injury claims from the same installations are filed in MDL 2873 in the District of South Carolina. Jacksonville residents who developed PFAS-linked conditions — kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease — in addition to or instead of VOC-linked conditions may have PFAS claims in MDL 2873 distinct from any Camp Lejeune Act claims. An attorney experienced in both Camp Lejeune and MDL 2873 litigation can evaluate which claims apply to a given claimant's exposure and diagnosis history.
