How an AFFF Lawyer Can Help

Firefighters who worked with aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) are at risk of developing serious diseases. AFFF contains manmade chemicals known as per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been linked to cancer and other harmful health effects.

Now, firefighters who have been affected may be able to work with AFFF lawyers to pursue compensation and justice.

An AFFF attorney can help by:

  • Holding the companies responsible for your PFAS-related cancer accountable
  • Seeking compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and more
  • Taking care of all of the legal work, so you can focus on your recovery

LawFirm.com works with personal injury lawyers who have secured over $9.8 billion for victims of injustice nationwide. Our PFAS lawyers never charge any upfront costs or hourly fees and can help victims in all 50 states.

Eligibility to Work With PFAS Lawyers

Firefighters who used AFFF and were later diagnosed with a PFAS-related cancer may be able to work with a firefighting foam lawyer to pursue compensation. This includes airport and military firefighters.

PFAS firefighting foam helped extinguish high-intensity fuel fires, so the U.S. military used it to quickly suppress fires on ships and in high-risk situations. Many Navy veterans and other military members may have suffered PFAS foam exposure as they served their country.

A firefighting foam lawyer can also help a family member file a wrongful death lawsuit if a loved one developed a PFAS cancer and later passed away.

AFFF runoff may have also infiltrated local water supplies, putting nearby residents in harm’s way. PFAS lawyers may also be able to fight for patients who were sickened by contaminated drinking water.

A firefighting foam lawyer can determine your eligibility and walk you through the legal process with minimal interruption to your daily routine.

How a PFAS Lawyer Can Guide You Through the Legal Process

PFAS lawyers understand the toll that a cancer diagnosis can take on your entire family, so they strive to make the legal process as easy and stress-free as possible.

With a firefighting foam lawyer handling all of the legal legwork, you can focus on your treatments, healing, and spending time with loved ones.

The basic process of working with a firefighting foam lawyer involves:

  1. Getting a free case review to determine whether you may be able to take legal action
  2. Gathering evidence linking your diagnosis to PFAS exposure to build a strong AFFF claim
  3. Identifying the companies responsible for your illness to hold them accountable
  4. Filing your PFAS contamination lawsuit in the correct court before legal deadlines called statutes of limitations
  5. Negotiating an AFFF settlement that provides as much compensation as quickly as possible
  6. Representing you in court if a settlement can’t be reached and fighting for a verdict that provides maximum compensation

Your firefighting foam lawsuit attorney will use their past experience navigating toxic exposure cases to secure a favorable result. They will also answer any questions you may have and provide legal advice along the way.
