Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) is a firefighting foam used primarily to extinguish liquid fuel fires. It has been widely used by firefighters, military personnel, and at airports due to its effectiveness in quickly suppressing intense flames.

AFFF contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are linked to several health risks, including cancer. These chemicals are persistent in the environment and the human body, meaning they do not break down and can accumulate over time.

Exposure to AFFF has been associated with several serious health conditions, including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, liver cancer, thyroid cancer, ulcerative colitis, and hypothyroidism.

If you or a loved one were exposed to AFFF and later developed health issues such as cancer, you might be eligible to file a lawsuit. Eligible plaintiffs include firefighters, military personnel, airport workers, and others who used AFFF.

Claimants may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages. Each case is unique, so the compensation will vary based on the specifics of your situation.

The time limit to file a lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. To determine the specific time frame applicable to your case, consult with us directly. Taking prompt action is crucial.
