NATO Training of Foreign Military at Camp Lejeune – Lawsuit Information Attorney
NATO forces are forces that are part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is a number of member countries that work together as allied forces during wartime around the globe. NATO member forces work as an alliance of allied countries around the world. They come to the political and military aid of member countries. Camp Lejeune was a U.S. military base that allowed NATO member forces to train together in years past, where special forces were able to train together on American soil, to work together to manage conflicts in other countries.
The NATO member countries send volunteer military personnel to train at Camp Lejeune. These special forces troops will work to help manage the peaceful resolution of global disputes, and support member countries. The NATO founding treaty is based on the United Nations mandate of the Article 5 of the Washington Treaty. Unfortunately, the NATO forces that trained at Camp Lejeune may have been exposed to the same hazardous conditions that exist at the military base, when the dangerous chemicals were released into the water that affected the American personnel living and working at the base at that time.
What Hazardous Chemicals Were NATO Training Forces Exposed to at Camp Lejeune?Many people from NATO training forces of foreign military units trained at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, in Jacksonville, North Carolina and were exposed to the hazardous chemicals of:
- Trichloroethylene (TCE)
- Tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
- Vinyl chloride (VC) and benzene
These hazardous chemicals are known carcinogens that can cause cancer years later after the initial exposures. If you have been on the military base at Camp Lejeune and trained as a NATO forces military personnel, you may have been exposed to TCE, PCE and VCs at the Camp Lejeune military base. In that case, you may be eligible to initiate a lawsuit on the merits of your case, and be reimbursed for your medical bills and therapies related to your exposure to hazardous chemicals at the Camp Lejeune base.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act allows anyone who lived or worked at the base from August 1, 1953, to December 31, 1987, for at least 30 days, exposed to the contaminated water and suffered injuries, to file a claim against the U.S. government. You are permitted to file a claim in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Northern Carolina to recover damages and personal injuries from exposure to hazardous chemicals in the water at Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1985.
What Did the ATSDR Do to Help Victims in Relation to Camp Lejeune and the Presence of PCE, TCE and VC?The ATSDR was tasked with reviewing the drinking water at Camp Lejeune. This task force found that in 2012, some buildings on Camp Lejeune were considered to be dangerous because there were negative health effects related to exposure of the chemicals PCE, TCE and VC. These chemicals were dangerous exposures to the people working, living and visiting Camp Lejeune who were there for NATO training. The Camp Lejeune military base administration was responsible for ensuring the safety of all personnel living and working at Camp Lejeune at the time. This means that they are responsible for the base being an increased health risk for people working on the base, during those times of exposure.
