Our lawyers are handling Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuits in all 50 states.  This page is about a particular type of cancer: multiple myeloma at Camp Lejeune.  We look at how multiple myeloma is linked to contaminated water and our attorneys speculate about potential settlement amounts for these cancer lawsuits.

From the 1950s thru the late 1980s the water supply at the USMC base, Camp Lejeune in North Carolina was contaminated with alarmingly high levels of chemical solvents that have been linked to cancer. In the years since this was discovered, numerous public health studies have been done to determine what this contamination did to the health of the estimated 1 million people that were exposed to the water at Camp Lejeune.

These studies have identified clear evidence that exposure to the contaminated water at Lejeune caused an increased risk of multiple myeloma and other lymphohematopoietic cancers.  Specifically, it is well understood that both benzene and trichloroethylene (TCE) – two toxins that contaminated the water at Camp Lejeune – cause multiple myeloma. There is evidence that another ubiquitous toxin at Camp Lejeune – perchloroethylene (PCE) – may also cause multiple myeloma.

Our attorneys are handling Camp Lejeune lawsuits in all 50 states. This page focuses on brain cancer at Camp Lejeune. Our lawyers talk about the connection between brain cancer and contaminated water – a connection that was not originally made – and the potential settlement amounts victims and their families may see in these civil lawsuits.

The law Congress passed to allow victims to file a Camp Lejuene lawsuit was to right a wrong. For over three decades, the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base in North Carolina exposed employees and residents to toxic chemicals in the drinking water. After decades of waiting, a new federal law has given victims of the water contamination at Lejeune the right to bring tort lawsuits and get the compensation they deserve.

The industrial chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune are known to be human carcinogens and individuals who were exposed to the water for long time periods have displayed higher rates of cancer.

Understandably, victims want to know how much their Camp Lejeune settlement might be.  Any injury victim or wrongful death survivor has this settlement question in any case.  But it is even more pronounced here because settlement amounts are a greater mystery.  We have a sample size of one for these one-of-a-kind lawsuits.

Some lawyers online post settlement amount projections.  Truth be told, most are doing it because they see our law firm doing it. It is a copycat industry.  But they do not explain the thinking behind their settlement payout predictions (often because they have no thinking).

This post is about including you in our thinking on settlement amounts and, just as importantly, how we think the government will determine settlement offers. It is a bit of a limb because no one knows how the Camp Lejeune lawsuits will play out.  But history typically repeats itself so we will look for patterns and how they might repeat themselves in this context.

Our lawyers are currently seeking individuals eligible to bring a Camp Lejeune cancer lawsuit involving soft tissue cancer.  Anyone who worked or lived at Camp Lejeune before 1988 and was later diagnosed with soft tissue cancer can bring a case and seek compensation.

Soft tissue cancer is considered a Tier III injury in Camp Lejeune cases.  This means there is some evidence indicating that it is connected to Camp Lejeune but there may be a battle in court as to whether there is sufficient causation evidence.

If you have a potential Camp Lejeune soft tissue cancer lawsuit, contact us today for fee case evaluation.
