What is a AFFF claim Result in?
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a fire suppressant specifically designed to combat flammable liquid fires (Class B fires). It contains highly toxic chemicals known as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), often called “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment and human body. These harmful substances remain in the body for extended periods, posing serious health risks.
Who Qualifies?
- Firefighters or U.S. Military personnel exposed to AFFF after 1960.
- Firefighters who regularly used AFFF or participated in training exercises involving firefighting foam.
- U.S. Military members who utilized AFFF for training, fire suppression, rescue operations, or property protection.
Individuals who have developed illnesses linked to Aqueous Film-Forming Foam exposure may qualify for compensation.
Currently, those affected by AFFF exposure often pursue class action lawsuits rather than filing individual claims against manufacturers. Attorneys specializing in toxic exposure manage these cases, making the compensation process more efficient and less complex than individual lawsuits.
Compensation for individuals suffering from illnesses due to foam exposure typically ranges between $300,000 and $600,000.
The final settlement amount depends on factors such as the severity of the illness, the impact on daily life, the need for assistance, and medical expenses incurred.
