Filing claims for AFFF-exposed veterans with liver cancer
By filing VA disability claims, veteran firefighters who have liver cancer can get healthcare benefits and monthly disability pay from the VA. Both can be greatly beneficial for their treatment and ultimately extend their life expectancy.
On the other hand, military firefighters may choose another legal option, such as filing an AFFF claim, to seek compensation to support much-needed medical services for their treatment and recovery.

Military firefighters, both active and retired, potentially face increased risks of developing severe health conditions, like liver cancer, due to exposure to chemicals in AFFF. At least 720 military sites nationwide are known or likely to have been contaminated with toxic chemicals because of firefighting foam.
If you, or a veteran you know, has liver cancer and was routinely exposed to AFFF while in service, you may qualify for liver cancer claims — either from the VA or through toxic exposure claims.
