The Fight Continues For Those Affected By Camp Lejeune

"What about justice for the babies and children who died from poisoned water? "
Erin Brockiovich has been working on this issue, for years.
This particular article also addresses what happened to the children . . . for example
"So many babies born at Camp Lejeune in the ’60s and ’70s died that a nearby cemetery had a section that parents called 'Baby Heaven' ". Women and childrens cases are difficult to litigate.

Evident clustering:

"Children were born without craniums and with neural tube defects, such as spina bifida and anencephaly (a condition where part of the brain or skull is missing). Many died of leukemia and lymphoma.

Any walk around a cemetery is somber but when you see stones that list names with only one year beneath them, the realization hits home of how many young children died on that base within their first year of life."

"Earlier this month, the Justice Department announced a streamlined application process for those exposed to toxic water at the Marine Corps base to receive financial settlements from the government.

The new process is an effort to speed up the pace of resolving more than 93,000 civil claims by Marines, their families and civilian employees, as part of the 2022 PACT Act, a law that expanded health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows victims to pursue litigation against the government if they could prove they were at the base for at least 30 days during the contamination timeframe and that the exposure to the tainted water likely caused their health issues. "
