How much is the PFAS water contamination lawsuit expected to pay out?

Drinking water utilities might be eligible for a piece of over $12.5 billion as part of a tentative settlement with chemical giant 3M for its role in "forever chemicals" contaminating drinking water nationwide. Still, the exact sum of money each community will receive is impossible to estimate, as there are many factors that come into play when calculating it.

The compensation communities whose drinking water contains PFAS ranges between $36,000 and $170,000,000

At the moment, there are thousands of plaintiffs in the PFAS water contamination lawsuit. Still, the number of water utilities that might have the right to the funds from the 3M settlement will continue to grow as more choose to participate in the settlement. It is nearly impossible to estimate how much money a community whose drinking water contains PFAS can receive after joining the lawsuit, as compensation depends on key factors such as:

  • how large the water supply is
  • how severe PFAS contamination is
  • how difficult PFAS removal is

They will carefully evaluate your case and consider all the above factors to calculate the approximate sum of money you can receive if you decide to join the PFAS water contamination lawsuit.
