Advocating for Firefighters: Foam Cancer Lawsuit Claims

Initiating Your Cancer Lawsuit Claim

These claims are related to lawsuits filed against manufacturers of Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFFs), which are commonly used by firefighters to combat fuel fires. These lawsuits have emerged due to the discovery that AFFFs contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals.”

Understanding Firefighter Foam Cancer Risks

Firefighting foams, particularly Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFFs), have been found to contain harmful chemicals linked to cancer. PFAS have been linked to a variety of health issues, including cancer (such as kidney, testicular, and prostate cancers), immune system disorders, hormonal disruptions, and other serious health conditions. The concern is that firefighters, who are frequently exposed to these chemicals during firefighting and training exercises, are at an increased risk of these health problems.

Who is Eligible for Compensation?

Firefighters who have been regularly exposed to AFFFs and have developed cancer may be eligible to file a claim. The lawsuits generally allege that the manufacturers of AFFFs were aware, or should have been aware, of the dangers posed by PFAS but failed to adequately warn users or take steps to make their products safer. The claims often include accusations of negligence, manufacturing a defective product, and failing to conduct proper safety tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cancers are linked to firefighter foam?

Cancers commonly associated with firefighter foam exposure include testicular, kidney, and prostate cancers, among others.

How can I prove my cancer is related to AFFF exposure?

Proving this connection typically requires medical records, documentation of your exposure to AFFFs, and possibly expert testimonies linking your cancer to the chemicals in the foam.
