Filing claims for PFAS-exposed veterans with liver cancer
By filing VA claims, veterans who have liver cancer can get healthcare benefits and monthly disability pay from the VA. Both can be greatly beneficial for their treatment and ultimately extend their life expectancy.
Additionally, thanks to The PACT Act of 2022, they would no longer have to go through the rigorous process of proving that the condition is tied to military service. The law recognizes liver cancer as a presumptive condition and automatically assumes or presumes its connection to military service, whether or not exposure to PFAS caused it.
On the other hand, they may choose other legal options, like individual claims, to seek compensation to support much-needed medical services for their treatment and recovery.
Find out if you’re eligible for PFAS liver cancer claims
Thousands - if not millions - of military members, both active and retired, potentially face increased risks of developing severe health conditions, like liver cancer, due to exposure to PFAS. At least 720 military sites nationwide are known or likely to have been contaminated with PFAS.
If you, or a veteran you know, may have liver cancer and were routinely exposed to PFAS while in service, you may qualify for liver cancer claims — either from the VA or through toxic exposure claims.
