PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often called “forever chemicals” — are released every time a firefighter uses aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). They do not break down in the body or the environment. Exposure has been linked to many cancers and serious health problems.
Firefighters directly confronted with fuel-based fires are at the highest risk: airport firefighters, military firefighters, fuel-industry firefighters, and volunteer firefighters who trained with AFFF.
We are well aware that firefighters struggling with the health issues caused by AFFF exposure are usually overwhelmed and in a lot of pain, which is why our law firm requests only basic documents to file a claim with the manufacturers, such as their employment or military records and their medical records.
Our compassionate legal team will take care of the most complex aspects of the legal process on behalf of ill firefighters seeking financial compensation so that they can still focus on their health and treatment. Regardless of how intricate a firefighter’s case is, we will go to great lengths to obtain the money they are entitled to.
