Houston Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Attorney

If you or a loved one lived, worked, or were stationed at Camp Lejeune during the years when its drinking water was contaminated — and later suffered serious illness, birth defects, or wrongful death — you deserve an attorney who understands the gravity of toxic exposure and is committed to fighting for justice on your behalf. As Peter Smith, I stand ready to help affected veterans, family members, contractors, and civilians seek rightful compensation for harms caused by negligence and prolonged toxic exposure.

What Happened at Camp Lejeune

Between 1953 and 1987, the water supply at Camp Lejeune was contaminated by dangerous chemicals — volatile organic compounds including TCE, PCE, benzene, and vinyl chloride. These contaminants entered the base’s water system through leaking underground storage tanks, improper waste disposal, off-base chemical operations, and other negligent practices.

For decades, residents and workers at the base drank, cooked, bathed, and carried out daily activities using this contaminated water — often without awareness of the danger.

Health Risks and Injuries Associated with Exposure

Exposure to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune has been linked to a wide range of serious health issues and conditions, including birth defects, miscarriages, infertility, various cancers (kidney, liver, bladder, blood, and others), neurological diseases, chronic illnesses, and other serious long-term health problems. Individuals exposed as children — even if they were born there — may also be eligible to seek compensation under the law.

Given the widespread exposure and variety of chemical contaminants, the consequences can be devastating and long-lasting — affecting health, lifestyle, family, and economic stability.

Who May Be Eligible to File a Claim

Those eligible to bring a claim include veterans, family members, civilians, contractors — anyone who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between 1953 and 1987 and who was exposed to the contaminated water. In wrongful-death cases, surviving family members or representatives may also have the right to seek compensation.

What Compensation You May Be Able to Recover

If your illness, injury, or loss is linked to exposure at Camp Lejeune, you may be entitled to seek damages including:

• Medical expenses — including past, present, and future treatment, therapies, specialized care, and related medical needs
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity — if illness or injury impacts your ability to work or limits your future employment potential
• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality of life, and other non-economic damages
• Wrongful death damages — for families who lost a loved one because of exposure-related conditions

Because the harms caused by toxic water exposure can be lifelong, it’s essential that any claim reflect both current and future needs and losses.
