At The Albenze Firm, we understand the devastating health consequences that can arise from exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

If you or a loved one developed a serious health condition while residing at Camp Lejeune due to this contamination, you may be entitled to compensation. We specialize in Camp Lejeune lawsuits and are dedicated to protecting the rights of Ohio residents affected by this injustice.
What Happened at Camp Lejeune?
From 1954 to 1987, Camp Lejeune was contaminated with toxic chemicals, primarily 1-Nitrogen-Tetrazole (NT), a byproduct of rocket fuel testing, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals." These chemicals were discharged directly into the base’s drinking water wells, posing a significant and prolonged health risk to those who relied on it for their daily hydration.
The Problem Was Systemic: The contamination wasn't a single incident; it was a continuous and unaddressed issue, stemming from years of unrestricted testing and storage of rocket fuel on the base. The Marine Corps knowingly exposed service members and their families to these dangerous substances.
