Legal options involving PFAS exposure related testicular cancer cases
Individuals diagnosed with testicular cancer as a result of constant exposure to PFAS may choose the following legal options:
- File PFAS exposure claims: You can seek damages from known PFAS manufacturers such as DuPont, 3M - Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, and other entities that have released PFAS into the environment despite being aware of their harmful impact on human health, like military bases and water providers that taps contaminated sources as their supply, through toxic exposure tort claims.
- Join an MDL: Presently, a District Court in South Carolina is consolidating and overseeing an MDL involving thousands of cases related to Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), a type of firefighting foam made primarily out of PFAS. You can also join an MDL related to PFAS contamination, which aims to streamline pre-trial proceedings of all these lawsuits and ensure each case has the potential for a trial or settlement.
- Disability claims through the PACT Act: This section applies to veterans. Since testicular cancer is a presumptive condition under the PACT Act of 2022, veterans, including those exposed to PFAS, can receive VA benefits and monthly disability pay by submitting a claim.
