U.S. military branches with past toxic exposure
Cancer and other diseases related to toxic exposure make veterans and family members eligible for compensation claims.
We file claims on behalf of veterans
Diseases caused by exposure on military bases are not common and are easily overlooked by healthcare professionals. The debilitating disease you developed as a result of exposure to toxic substances or use of defective products can form the basis for a compensation claim separate from your VA disability benefits claim. It is important to know that if you are a veteran who seeks financial compensation, you will have to retrieve your military records and provide these documents to our attorneys to expedite the process of filing your claim.
If you were exposed to AFFF in the military as a firefighter and came to struggle with a related cancer, you are eligible for compensation from the VA. You can also file a personal injury claim with the company that manufactured and distributed AFFF containing PFAS. It is worth mentioning that this will not affect your right to disability compensation from the VA.
If you have a cancer diagnosis related to the use of AFFF please contact us and we will prioritize your case. PFOA and PFOS can accumulate and stay in the body, building up over time. Long-term exposure to PFOA/PFOS, in high concentrations, can lead to serious health problems, such as:
Being misdiagnosed is a common mistake when getting diagnosed at the VA center or even at an outside doctor. The diseases are not common and are easily missed by medical professionals, which is why we recommend calling us and getting checked for an accurate diagnosis. Even if you have no symptoms, an ongoing cough or shortness of breath, asbestos fibers may still be present in your lungs, and many times may cause other types of symptoms or diseases, cases in which physicians do not think about checking for scarring of your lungs first.
We prioritize all veterans who seek to receive financial compensation through asbestos trust fund claims and VA claims, as they fought relentlessly to protect our country and deserve better healthcare and quality of life. Immediate eligibility for cancer diseases for veterans or family members:
