The fight for justice continues for thousands of veterans, family members, and civilian employees impacted by the Camp Lejeune water contamination. This year, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 (CLJA) has entered a critical stage, with new settlement offers, legal disputes, and legislative proposals that could significantly impact plaintiffs.

The EO provides a framework for resolving claims more quickly and efficiently than traditional litigation, minimizing the need for burdensome discovery processes and trials. The FTCA states that contingency fee arrangements between plaintiffs and their counsel cannot exceed 20% for administrative claims or 25% for suits filed in court, ensuring fair compensation for claimants while maintaining accountability.

As the fallout from the Camp Lejeune toxic water contamination continues to reverberate, 2023 has brought significant developments in the ongoing pursuit of justice for affected individuals and their families.

The pursuit of justice for victims of the Camp Lejeune toxic water contamination has been marked by a series of legal hurdles and legislative efforts spanning several decades.
