Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AFFF firefighting foam lawsuit?
An AFFF lawsuit is a case against companies that made firefighting foam that contained toxic PFAS (forever chemicals). These chemicals have been linked to serious health conditions, including several forms of cancer. Many workers were never warned about the danger. If you were hurt, you may be able to get help and compensation.
What health problems are linked to AFFF exposure?
AFFF has been linked to cancers such as kidney, liver, testicular, and thyroid cancer, as well as thyroid disease and ulcerative colitis. The chemicals can stay in the body for many years. Over time, they can cause damage to important organs. Many people did not know they were at risk until they became sick.
Who may qualify to file an AFFF lawsuit?
Firefighters (who worked for at least six months between 1975 to 2016) that were exposed to AFFF, military members who resided (for at least six months from 1975 to present) at any U.S. military base, Navy personnel, and airport workers may qualify. People who lived near military bases or airports may also be at risk. Drinking water in some areas was contaminated. Our lawyers can help see if you qualify.
What kind of help or compensation may be available?
Compensation may help pay for medical bills and lost work time. It may also help with pain and suffering. Families who lost a loved one may also be able to seek help. Every case is different, and our lawyers can explain your options.
