More than 123,000 soldiers and workers at Camp Lejeune were exposed to toxic water. But in the lengthy legal effort to receive compensation for resulting illness, they and their families face big challenges, according to Samir Parikh, a Lewis & Clark Law School professor.
“Their relatives will still hold a claim but bills and expenses pending today cannot be addressed with some vague promise of future recovery,” said Parikh, who has researched mass tort cases and reviewed the data around the Camp Lejeune.
