Types of compensation
Scientific studies have linked PFAS exposure to an increased risk of liver cancer, and it is a concern for veterans as well. Veterans who developed liver cancer as a result of PFAS exposure during military service may be eligible to receive the following compensation:
- Medical expenses: Treatment costs, including chemotherapy, surgeries, medications, and other necessary medical services.
- Lost wages: Recovery for lost income or future lost earnings.
- VA disability benefits: Benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including a monthly, tax-free disability pay for veterans with liver cancer. As a presumptive condition, the VA automatically links this condition to military service.
- Wrongful death benefits: Benefits for the wrongful death of a veteran due to service-related liver cancer.
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for emotional and mental distress.
