To mark World Cancer Day, our International Serious Injury partner Cheryl Palmer-Hughes explores what happened at Camp LeJeune between 1953 and 1987 and the recent changes in legislation that now allow for claims to be brought.
She’s joined by Andrew Buckham, our military injury partner, Mike Doyle, partner at US law firm Doyle Dennis LLP, and Joe House, a veteran who was based at the training facility.
Together they discuss:
• The toxic water contamination
• The link to cancer and other serious illnesses
• The impact on those stationed there
• How changes in US legislation made it possible for those affected to make a claim
• How legal support could help you or someone you know.
Joe also gives a personal insight into his family’s experience at Camp LeJeune and how it’s sadly changed their life. He’s wants to share his story and encourage others to seek answers.
Supporting the Armed Forces and Veterans
British service personnel and civilian workers were exposed to contaminated water at the camp between 1953 and 1987. This increased their risks of developing cancer or other serious illnesses. The deadline to submit a claim is 10 August 2024. We’re here to help you make a claim for any illnesses caused by your time at Camp LeJeune. Visit our website to find out more.
