Camp Lejeune, which has been the home of millions of people over the years, is now being cited as the cause of what could be millions of toxic exposure injuries. One Iowa woman, who was too sick to file her lawsuit herself, had lawyers file a lawsuit against the United States government for the cancer she has suffered from.
The woman lived on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina from 1980 until 1983 where she claims she drank tainted water. The toxic exposure lawsuit says that the water at that time contained a few different toxins that are known to cause cancer: benzene, tetrachloroethylene, and trichloroethylene.
Health officials believe that there are thousands of families who have suffered from cancer and other immune diseases as a result of exposure to toxic materials on the naval base. Now that it has become known that the negligent actions of the U.S. government are the cause of these injuries, many people are filing toxic exposure lawsuits to help recover damages for their personal injury.
The toxic exposure attorneys filing the lawsuit on behalf of the sick woman say that the government needs to be accountable for the injuries their negligent actions have caused over the years. The military is supposed to maintain a clean water supply, and the thousands of sick families are proof they have failed to do so.
