Can Family Members Born at Camp Lejeune, or Exposed In Utero, File a Claim?

Yes, potentially. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act extends eligibility to family members who resided on base during the contamination period, including individuals who may have been exposed to toxic water in utero. If your mother lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 cumulative days between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, while pregnant with you, and you later developed a qualifying condition, you may have had grounds to seek benefits or compensation under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. Note that the deadline to file administrative claims under the Act passed on August 10, 2024. A West Palm Beach Camp Lejeune lawyer can review your specific medical history and circumstances to help determine whether you may have grounds to file.
