Types of compensation
Scientific studies have linked PFAS exposure to an increased risk of liver cancer, and it is a major concern for military firefighters. If liver cancer is proven to be connected to AFFF exposure, they may be eligible to receive the compensation for:
- Medical expenses: Treatment costs, including chemotherapy, surgeries, medications, and other necessary medical services.
- VA disability benefits: Benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including a monthly, tax-free disability pay for veterans with liver cancer.
- Wrongful death benefits: Benefits for the wrongful death of a military firefighter due to service-related liver cancer.
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for emotional and mental distress, although these types of compensation may be hard to estimate.
