WNCN is reporting that decades after exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, families claiming serious adverse health effects, even death, had their first day in federal court yesterday. A federal judge spoke to a packed courtroom filled with attorneys, urging them and the government to work together to come up with a settlement structure. Among the claimants in the courtroom was Jerry Ensminger, who’s been a leader in advocating for those exposed to toxic water on base between 1953 and 1987.
