Midway Park Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Lawsuit

At first glance, Midway Park seems like a family-friendly community serving Marines and their families. Yet, behind the charming finishes and clapboard houses, there’s a sinister history. From December 1953 to August 1987, residents suffered exposure to toxic chemicals in their water supply. This has spurred many claims and lawsuits against the government.

Understanding the Toxic Water Contamination at Midway Park

Before explaining our firm’s services and your next steps, we want you to understand what happened at Camp Lejeune regarding the toxic water. We believe a bit of background will grant the information needed to make decisions for your case.

From December 1953 to August 1987, more than one million servicepeople and their families lived at Camp Lejeune. The North Carolina base operated off eight water treatment plants, three of which were contaminated.

In the following years, former residents of the community came forward, alleging that because of the toxic water, they developed life-altering conditions. Now, claimants have the option of seeking benefits through:

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers benefits to veterans injured or otherwise impaired due to their service. When seeking damages for losses stemming from Camp Lejeune’s toxic water, claimants must show:

They lived at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between August 1953 to December 1987.
They were not dishonorably discharged.

VA lists some “presumptive” conditions that qualify for benefits. These are illnesses that the government links to Camp Lejeune’s water contamination. They range from aplastic anemia to cancer.

The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022

Prior to August 2022, the only way Midway Park Camp Lejeune residents could receive compensation or benefits was through VA. However, with the implementation of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, affected families can recover damages from the government.

These damages include payment for:

Medical bills
Lost income and future loss of earning capacity
Out-of-pocket expenses
Pain and suffering
Disability
Wrongful death-related losses, such as funeral expenses

There’s a reason why Van Law has countless five-star reviews. That’s because we’ve recovered more than $150 million for injured claimants in situations like yours. We make ourselves available around the clock to answer your questions and listen to your story. What’s more, we offer in-home consultations if you cannot come visit us.

Which Water Distribution Plants Were Contaminated by Toxic Water?

As noted, there were three primary water distribution plants that became contaminated at Camp Lejeune. Two of them directly served the residents of Midway Park. These plants include:

The Holcomb Boulevard Water Distribution Plant

The Holcomb Boulevard water distribution plant was not inherently toxic. Yet, it received its water supply from a nearby plant, which was. The government shut down the plant in 1985.

The Hadnot Point Water Distribution Plant

The wells at the Hadnot Point water treatment facility served multiple locations at Camp Lejeune, including Midway Manor. The main contaminant in the water supply was trichloroethylene (TCE). In an acceptable body of water, it’s about five parts per billion (PPB). In Midway Park, however, the PPB was 1,400––which is extremely high. The plant was also shut down in 1985.

Client Testimonials

These guys are amazing. Helped me throughout the process. Always there when I need help. Inititailly called a law firm (the one that has lots of ads on the radio), but they declined my case. Van Law Firm accepted my case without a second thought! Kudos to Daniel, my case manager, and Amanda who expedited my payment process. Highly recommended.

Milby Mags

Got in an accident at the beginning of the year and they have been awesome, especially with it being my first accident and me being like this. They have been very communicated, stayed in contact with me the whole time, giving me updates when there were any and even when there weren’t and answered any question I had. I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone I have talked to there has been very friendly. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Ethan Gullet

They made sure that my insurance company covered what I paid for them to which included the gap for my car that was totaled. My medical costs were taken care of and reduced substantially so I was able to get more on my settlement. My case manager, Will Garcia, was always helpful in assisting me and answering any questions I had. They really did an amazing job with my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this type of legal help. Most lawyers do not help you with the recovery of the car and rental etc. They are amazing.
