The companies which manufactured the product will be held liable in a case of AFFF exposure
Even if your AFFF exposure occurred while you were serving in the military, you cannot file a lawsuit against the military in the regrettable case you developed a related disease, as only the companies which manufactured the hazardous product are responsible for your diagnosis. Thereby, a lawsuit will be filed against the company or companies which made the AFFF you were exposed to in the military and not against the military itself.
A lawyer with vast experience in toxic exposure cases will be of great help to you if you want to take legal action for AFFF exposure, as they will carefully and efficiently take care of the majority of aspects entailed by the legal process, while your involvement will be minimal. You will only have to provide them with your military and medical records, documents that will stand as evidence of your exposure, and related diagnosis in your AFFF exposure lawsuit. Your attorney will eventually recover the maximum compensation you are eligible for from the liable parties.
Companies responsible for toxic firefighting foams
Allegedly, manufacturers who put PFAS in firefighting foam knew about the health risks of PFAS since the 1940s. Even with this knowledge, these companies still sold firefighting foam made with toxic PFAS chemicals without disclosing the potential health hazards. Because of their negligence and failure to warn the public of the health risks of PFAS, firefighting foam manufacturers can be held liable for the health effects attributed to PFAS contamination.
The companies that have come under fire for their alleged negligent selling of firefighting foam include major chemical manufacturers like:
- 3M Company
- DuPont
- Chemours Company
- Chemguard
- Tyco Fire Products
- National Foam, Inc.
- Dynax Corporation
- Buckeye Fire Equipment Co.
