Camp Lejeune, the U.S. Marine Corps base in North Carolina, has been associated with a range of health issues, particularly concerning birth defects among children born to service members and their families stationed there. Understanding what are the most common Camp Lejeune birth defects is crucial for affected families and healthcare providers alike. This knowledge may dictate whether you can pursue a legal claim to recover compensation for associated losses. Between the 1950s and 1980s, Camp Lejeune's water supply was contaminated with various toxins, including volatile organic compounds[...]

The U.S. Justice Department contends that denying jury trials will speed up the process of resolving what is likely to be tens of thousands of[...]

A groundbreaking medical research study regarding the link between Camp Lejeune water and increased cancer rates is slated for publication. It's expected to show how researchers concluded that there's a positive correlation between service members stationed at this North Carolina marine base between 1953 and 1985, when water contamination issues existed, and an uptick in cancer rates among them. At continuum, we'll provide you with more information about the sample population assessed and provide additional details on findings that lead study authors to establish a connection between the[...]
