We file claims on behalf of veterans and family members
U.S. veterans are highly likely to develop serious illnesses as a result of exposure to toxic substances and the use of defective products.
Even if you are a veteran who has never been in combat, the risk of exposure to toxic substances and defective products is very real.
Almost all veterans have used various dangerous products or toxic substances at some point during their service, whether during training, in the performance of their work duties, or on the base. This exposure may have resulted in injury or illness that developed much later in life.
Although manufacturing companies often try to shift the blame away from military service, study after study shows the link between this in-service exposure and the development of serious health conditions later in life, including many cancers. The immediate connection may not be obvious, but you should thoroughly investigate your right to claim compensation for such disabilities.
If you are a veteran or a family member and experience serious health issues, we strongly encourage you to have your health evaluated by a specialist medical professional. Diseases caused by exposure during service 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.
We serve all veterans, without any kind of discrimination. 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.
Legal assistance to military firefighters exposed to the chemical-based firefighting foam
If you were exposed to AFFF in the military as a firefighter and came to struggle with a related disease you are eligible for compensation from the VA. You can also file a personal injury claim with the company which manufactured, and distributed AFFF containing PFAS. It is worth mentioning that this will not affect your right to disability compensation from the VA. You will only need to provide us with your employment or military records, as well as with your medical records, which will be used as evidence for your claim. Our legal experts will file the claim on your behalf. It is important to know that you will receive the compensation you are entitled to within several months to several years after your claim is submitted, as reviewing it is a very complex and time-consuming process.
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:
Because the negative health outcomes related to PFAS exposure has become a significant concern for veterans and service members in recent years, members of the U.S. Senate and PFAS Task Force introduced legislation to ensure that veteran firefighters exposed to PFAS chemicals at military installations will get the healthcare services they need for any health condition associated with PFAS exposure. Under this bill, PFAS-related conditions will be considered service-connected disabilities, making veterans exposed to PFAS chemical contamination as a consequence of their military service eligible for disability payments and medical treatment from the VA.
We file claims with asbestos trust funds for veterans and family members
If you are a veteran you may or may not experience symptoms such as shortness of breath or a persistent cough, however, we strongly encourage you to give us a call. Having your health evaluated by a specialist is crucial, as you are at high risk for developing pulmonary issues, cancer, and other asbestos-related diseases. 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, the reason why we recommend calling us and getting checked for an accurate diagnosis. Even if you have no symptoms, 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:
