PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been used in industries around the globe. Known for their persistence, these chemicals do not break down and can accumulate over time in both the environment and the human body.
Due to their widespread use and environmental persistence, PFAS are controversial because they have been found in high concentrations in various ecosystems and are linked to numerous health problems, including cancers, liver damage, and immune system disruptions.
Exposure to PFAS has been associated with several serious health conditions, including kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease among others.
There are two main ways to be exposed to PFAS: Dermal Exposure: Direct contact with AFFF firefighting foam or turn-out gear. Ingestion: Consuming contaminated water.
Individuals who have been exposed to PFAS through contaminated drinking water, certain consumer products, or at their workplace, and have developed health issues potentially linked to this exposure, may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
Claimants may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages. The specifics of what can be recovered will depend on the details of each case.
