Guest Op/Ed: Camp Lejeune Justice Act gives hope to victims

On June 16, 2022, Senate voted to pass the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. The bill also prohibits the government from asserting immunity from litigation in response to a lawsuit. No punitive damages can be recovered in any legal action under this act. Undoubtedly, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act is on the verge of becoming law. If the bill is signed into law by President Biden, toxic exposure victims will have 2 years to seek financial compensation from the government, starting with the date the Camp Lejeune Justice Ace is enacted.
