PFAS Lawsuit
According to a recent study, servicemen in off-base areas close to US military installations were exposed to “forever chemicals” in their drinking water. The usage of firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals is thought to have been the source of the pollution. Man-made compounds known as per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have been connected to a number of severe health issues, including as ulcerative colitis and many types of cancer.
Why Are People Filing PFAS Water Contamination Lawsuits?
Across the country, people, government entities and private entities are filing lawsuits against manufacturers including 3M, DuPont and Tyco Fire Products because these companies’ products polluted water supplies, causing cancer and other health problems. PFAS also led to expensive cleanup of contaminated water systems.
We analyzed Regina Brown’s 2024 lawsuit, 2:24-cv-01514 -RMG, as an example of a PFAS cancer lawsuit.
According to Brown’s complaint, the defendants failed to warn consumers that so-called PFAS “forever chemicals” had toxic properties, could persist in the environment for a long time and could contaminate water supplies.
“As a result of drinking water contaminated with Defendants’ fluorochemical products, Plaintiff developed and was diagnosed with kidney cancer, which has caused Plaintiff to undergo medical treatment including a nephrectomy surgery, and to suffer, and continue to suffer, severe personal injuries, pain, and emotional distress, including the fear of cancer recurrence,” the complaint stated.
The claims in Brown’s lawsuit echo those from other individual lawsuits we’ve researched. Plaintiffs who suffered cancer or ulcerative colitis demand compensation for physical, financial and emotional damages that they suffered because of the defendants’ negligence.
Who Is Seeking Legal Help According to PFAS Lawyers
Most people who became clients of the PFAS lawyers we’ve spoken to say they were personally exposed to forever chemicals in water and developed cancer and other serious health problems. Less than 2% of the clients sought an attorney on behalf of someone else.
Lawyers say 27% of the people who have enlisted their help are between the ages of 50 and 59. Only 3.2% hired a lawyer on behalf of minors or are under the age of 20.
The next largest age group is 20 to 29, accounting for 22.2% of claimants. Thirty to 39-year-olds and 40- to 49-year-olds each make up 17.5% of the people pursuing a lawsuit.
