For years, the U.S. Government failed to protect those who lived and worked at Camp Lejeune. For decades, they hid the presence of the of the toxic contaminates found in the water on the base to the detriment of both civilian workers and marines. A claim filed under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act is the first step in the right direction of holding the Government responsible for its clear and irrefutable negligence.
