PFAS are chemicals that have been used in various industrial and consumer products for years. In recent years, research has indicated that these chemicals may be linked to health problems, including cancer. As a result, many people are suing companies that manufactured or used PFAS products.

In order to qualify for a PFAS cancer lawsuit, you must have an illness caused by exposure to the chemical. You will also need to show that the company responsible was aware of the potential dangers and did not take the necessary steps to avoid them. Finally, you will need to prove the damages resulting from your illness.

How do PFAS cancer lawsuits work?

PFAS cancer lawsuits work a bit differently than traditional lawsuits. In PFAS cancer litigation, plaintiffs often file individual lawsuits on behalf of themselves and their families. These types of lawsuits are often brought under the federal Worker’s Compensation Act, which allows individuals to recover damages for injuries they sustained as a result of their job.

Typically, plaintiffs in PFAS cancer litigation will first seek an assessment from a qualified health care professional as to whether they have been exposed to PFAS chemicals and if so, how much exposure they have had. If the plaintiff believes they have developed cancer as a result of their exposure to PFAS chemicals, they may then pursue litigation.
