Even if you have a diagnosis of esophageal cancer, our attorneys will have to review your military and medical records to determine whether you are indeed eligible for compensation. We offer a free evaluation to everyone who wants to file a claim.

The role of the esophagus is to facilitate the movement of the food you eat from the back of your throat to the stomach. When esophageal cancer occurs, malignant tumors begin forming on the lining of the esophagus. Men are considerably more prone to developing esophageal cancer, as they have a lifetime risk of developing it of 1 in 125, whereas, for women, the risk of esophageal cancer is 1 in 417. The main symptoms of esophageal cancer are the following:

difficulty and pain with swallowing
pressure or burning in the chest
indigestion
heartburn
vomiting
frequently choking on food
a persistent cough and hoarseness
unexplained weight loss
pain behind the breastbone or in the throat

The use of aqueous film-forming foam, also known as AFFF, is the primary source of PFAS contamination on military bases. This is a fire suppressant used to put out jet fuel and petroleum fires by military firefighters and trainees. When these chemicals are released in the environment, they remain there forever, as they are also known as forever chemicals. Similarly, once they enter the human body, they persist, being able to cause numerous serious diseases and health problems, including esophageal cancer. In the unfortunate case that you were stationed at one of these military bases and came to struggle with esophageal cancer, we advise you to contact us, as we specialize in toxic exposure and might be able to help you recover financial compensation.

We can help you file a toxic exposure claim if you were exposed to PFAS in the military

Our main area of practice is toxic exposure, which means that our law firm has the necessary knowledge and resources to help you obtain financial compensation if you were exposed to PFAS on military bases, developed esophageal cancer, and meet the eligibility criteria. While the legal process is complex, it will require minimal involvement on your part, as we are aware that cancer patients experience great physical and emotional distress.

You will only have to send our legal team your military records, which you must retrieve, and your medical records, as the rest of the paperwork will be efficiently handled by us. Eventually, you might receive money for your suffering from the companies that manufactured the AFFF you were exposed to, as well as from the VA if you are a veteran. Because we work on a contingency fee basis, you will not owe our law firm any money unless our attorneys obtain compensation on your behalf.
