Liver cancer - PFAS exposure Jones Act & FELA claims

Over 34,000 people in the US receive a liver cancer diagnosis every year. The disease is usually the result of the presence of risk factors such as cirrhosis, diabetes, excessive alcohol consumption, and fatty liver disease. However, liver cancer has recently been linked to exposure to PFAS found in workplaces where aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) is used. Exposure to PFAS can lead to the development of liver cancer, particularly if it is prolonged. Maritime workers and railroad employees who were exposed to PFAS at the workplace are at increased risk of developing liver cancer. If you worked as a seaman or railroad worker and were exposed to PFAS or other toxic substances and came to struggle with liver cancer, please contact our law firm, as we might be able to recover financial compensation for you under the Jones Act or FELA.

Exposure to PFOS can cause metabolic changes in the liver, which increase cancer risk

The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, which begins in the primary cells of the liver, medically known as hepatocytes. However, it is worthy of note that cancer that begins in the liver is rarer than cancer that spreads to the liver from another part of the body, such as the colon, lungs, or breasts. The majority of people with early-stage liver cancer do not experience symptoms.

Nevertheless, as their disease progresses, they may experience some of the following symptoms, for which they should seek medical attention immediately:

upper abdominal pain
nausea
vomiting
general weakness and fatigue
abdominal swelling
yellow discoloration of your skin
white, chalky stools
unexplained weight loss
loss of appetite

For maritime and railroad workers exposed to toxic substances such as PFAS or other pollutants, compensation may be available. Family members of workers who were exposed may also be able to file a claim on their behalf. Liver cancer has a latency of 12 years when it is caused by PFAS exposure.
