PFAS exposure claims

PFAS exposure claims video

Veterans who served on military bases in the United States may have been exposed to a variety of chemicals such as toxic solvents used in regular military tasks such as cleaning, degreasing, paint stripping, and thinning oil-based paints. After continuous or repeated contact with toxic substances over a long period of time, veterans and their families who lived with them on military bases may be at risk of developing life-threatening illnesses. Environmental Litigation Group P.C. offers free case evaluations for veterans and their family members who believe their medical condition is a result of exposure to toxic chemicals during military service, as well as for individuals living within one mile from these bases for at least a year.

Claim Application

If you intend to file a claim with the VA as well, please go to the form linked below.

VA Claim Application

Diseases and health issues, which may be related to exposure to hazardous chemicals at military bases

Eligibility criteria

Exposure to toxic chemicals can produce immediate effects that include headaches, rashes, allergies, nausea, dizziness, neurological problems, difficulty swallowing and breathing, and concentration and memory problems.

Generally, these effects develop gradually, resulting in serious health complications over time.

If you developed any of the diseases below while you were stationed on one of these contaminated military bases, or lived in close proximity to one for 1 cumulative year or longer please contact Environmental Litigation Group.

Suffering from a disabling condition does not automatically qualify a former service member to receive certain VA disability benefits. In order to establish a service connection on a direct basis, veterans must show evidence of deployment to a place that had documented chemical issues or showing permanent or temporary duty at a military facility that has been placed on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Superfund Site list.

Claim Application

We work tirelessly to ensure victims of PFAS exposure on military bases are compensated

ELG Law has a wealth of knowledge and experience with environmental toxic tort cases. We review the medical and service records you provide us with and determine if the military installations you were assigned to or lived within one mile from have been impacted by toxic contamination during your enrollment period, and if any conditions you are diagnosed with are related.

It is important to know that, to file a claim for toxic exposure on military bases, you will have to retrieve your military records if you are a veteran. This will speed up the legal process for our attorneys and you will obtain compensation within a shorter time. Family members of personnel stationed at one of these contaminated military bases can also have opportunities for benefits and treatments.

Our law firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means that you will not have to pay anything unless we recover compensation for you. Too often, the VA gives disability ratings that fall short or denies a claim completely. If you are interested in avoiding unnecessary delays in your claim and want to do everything you can to maximize your chances of success, it is a good idea for you to consult with an experienced legal team.
