Chemicals in firefighting foam have been linked to different types of kidney cancer
Renal cell carcinoma is a disease that originates in the lining of the renal tubules. These tiny tubes in the kidney are responsible for filtering waste and returning nutrients to the bloodstream. RCC is known to be slow-growing but can easily spread to nearby areas. It also has various subtypes that may be related to AFFF exposure. These include:
- clear cell
- papillary
- chromophobe
- collecting duct
- medullary
We offer quality legal services if you need assistance in filing an AFFF kidney cancer claim
If you developed kidney cancer from AFFF exposure from serving as a military firefighter, you may be eligible to file a claim for financial compensation. You may either file an AFFF claim, a VA disability claim, or both. We only need to evaluate your military and medical records to check if any additional documents are needed. After you have submitted all your documents to us, our lawyers will process your claim for your compensation. Civilian firefighters are also eligible for an AFFF kidney cancer claim if they have the diagnosis and employment records showing use of AFFF on the job.
