Aqueous Film-Forming Foam

AFFF Chemicals are “Forever Chemicals”

Aqueous Film-Forming Foam is often referred to as AFFF and serves as a suppressant employed to combat flammable liquid fires. This foam contains HIGHLY TOXIC SUBSTANCES known as PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL (PFAS). PFAS is commonly labeled as a “forever chemical” due to its extremely persistent nature. The noxious substances contained within AFFF persist within an individual’s body for an extended period of time.

AFFF/PFAS chemicals are designated as a “forever chemical”. Their chemical makeup makes AFFF/PFASchemicals extremely resistant to degradation, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

While this status makes them useful for fight fires, it also makes them nearly impossible to dispose of, whether in the human body or environment.

AFFF/PFASmay be ingested by humans in a few different ways, including physical contact, contamination sources such as those found near many military installation bases. When humans ingest, absorb, or breathe dangerous levels of AFFF/PFASchemicals, serious health consequences may result.

FAQ

What happened with PFAS/AFFF?

With Film Forming Foam being used extensively, the AFFF chemicals (PFAS) are wide-spread.A recent government study estimates nearly half of America’s tap water could contain toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. These chemicals have been used in many everyday items, though theyare primarily for professional use, like airport firefighting foam. These chemicals eventually find their way into water, soil, and air, exposing millions to their carcinogenic effects.

PFAS Chemicals are “Forever Chemicals”

PFAS chemicals are designated as a “forever chemical.” Their chemical makeup makes PFAS chemicals extremely resistant to degradation, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

PFAS may be ingested by humans in a few different ways, including contaminated water sources such as those found near many military installation bases. When humans ingest, absorb, or breathe dangerous levels of PFAS chemicals, serious health consequences may result.

In addition to a proximity to firefighting, there are several ways that you may have come into contact with or ingested forever chemicals that may have put your health at risk.

When will I get paid and how much will I get paid?

No one has a crystal ball and certainly not all claims are the same – yet, when examining these questions, there are some fairly standard and well-governed guidelines that are often useful in evaluating a claim’s worth and speed to completion.

WHEN – First, the attorney must demonstrate to a judge that defendant was aware of the hazards of their product and was negligent in warning and protecting people. This process can take several years. However, once this has been established, it is on to valuating the individual claims and moving towards the individual settlements Your claim is based on the merits and severity of your injuries. Typically, however, a claim like this taking 3-5 years is not uncommon. So as previously mentioned, getting in-line early often becomes very important.

HOW MUCH – The more severe the damages, the more value the claim has in terms of settlement. Settlement claims are often “tiered” (meaning “grouped”) into damage categories prior to diving into the individual merits of each claim. You know the physical and emotional hardship and expenses you’ve gone through. This story is the key thing when law firms build your claim.
