Firefighting Foam Side Effects and Complications
PFAS has been connected to the following cancer types:
- Bladder cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Lymphoma
- Liver cancer
- Thyroid cancer
- Thyroid cancer
- Breast cancer
Because PFAS does not deteriorate in the human body, its potential for severe damage is ongoing. This substance is highly durable, and its full effects are not yet known.
Who is at Risk of Harm?
Unfortunately, men and women who work as firefighters in the United States are at serious risk of being harmed by this cancer-causing foam. The substance has been used extensively by the military since the latter part of the 1960s. Additionally, firefighters at airports used the foam until 2018, and those exposed stand a great risk of harm.
Certain areas received greater exposure and, therefore, individuals who were in these areas may have suffered greater harm. Some of the specific areas include:
- Chemical plants
- Oil refineries, terminals, and bulk fuel storage farms
- Firefighter training areas
- Aircraft crash sites
- Military airport hangars
- Processing and storage facilities for flammable liquids

Medical Negligence Injuries
Were You Affected?
Brachial Plexus Injury– The brachial plexus is a group of nerves connecting the spinal cord to the shoulders, arms, and hands. An injury can occur when these nerves are compressed, stretched, or torn.
Erb’s Palsy– A nerve condition in the arm and shoulder resulting in weakness or loss of muscle function. This comes from the brachial plexus being torn or stretched.
Shoulder Dystocia– A medical emergency where one of the baby’s shoulders gets stuck behind the mother’s pubic bone or sacrum during birth. This can lead to fracturing the baby’s collarbone or upper arm, nerve damage to the shoulders, arms, hands, or fingers, brain damage or a speech disability, and lack of oxygen.

Cerebral Palsy– A group of motor disabilities affecting someone’s ability to move and maintain balance. Someone with Cerebral Palsy may need special equipment to move or walk, and symptoms can worsen over time.

This is a Mass Tort, Not a Class Action
What's the difference?
In a mass tort, victims are treated as individuals and the specific merits of each claim are taken into consideration. In a class action, every victim has a similar injury and is treated identically.
The benefit of mass tort litigation is that plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations which ultimately lead to significantly greater payouts compared to class actions.
- Settlements and payouts tend to be significantly higher compared to class action awards
- Plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations
Mass Tort Payments
