PrintThe Navy and Justice Department announced a new settlement offer Wednesday to some of the tens of thousands of people who claim they contracted deadly diseases from exposure to contaminated water decades ago atMore than 93,000 people have filed claims under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, which allows people to seek a payout for injuries caused by exposure to toxic water at the Marine Corps Base from mid-1953 through 1987.
The payouts range from $150,000 to $450,000 — with an additional $100,000 offered if the exposure resulted in a death. The claimants will have 60 days to decide if they want to take the money or keep fighting for a larger settlement. The Department of Veterans Affairs has estimated that up to 900,000 service members were potentially exposed to the contaminated water. The diseases believed to have been caused by the toxic water include kidney, liver and bladder cancer, leukemia and Parkinson’s disease.
