What legal actions can I take if AFFF exposure caused my testicular cancer?

If you used AFFF and believe your work exposure may have caused your testicular cancer, you have several options depending on your employment history, whether you are a civilian or military firefighter. These options include filing AFFF claims against the manufacturers or filing VA disability claims for testicular cancer (for military firefighters).

Legal options involving AFFF-related testicular cancer cases

Civilian and military firefighters who have been diagnosed with testicular cancer as a result of AFFF exposure may choose the following legal options:

  • File AFFF exposure claims: As a firefighter, you can seek damages from known AFFF manufacturers to get financial compensation for medical expenses and personal damages. This avenue is available for both civilian and military firefighters, including career and volunteer firefighters.
  • File VA disability claims: This section applies to military firefighters. While there are still no presumptive conditions for exposure to PFAS chemicals, you may still be eligible for VA disability claims. You need to be able to establish a connection between your testicular cancer diagnosis and your exposure to PFAS chemicals in AFFF.
