Frequently Asked Questions

I was a firefighter decades ago. Is it too late?

Probably not. The statute runs from when the link between PFAS and your diagnosis became known — which in many cases is recent.

What if my employer required me to use AFFF?

The claims are against the manufacturers of AFFF, not your employer. Worker’s compensation and an AFFF claim are separate and non-exclusive.

I wasn’t a firefighter — I just live near a PFAS-contaminated area. Can I file?

Yes. Residents of communities with PFAS-contaminated public water are being reviewed for personal injury claims. We’ll assess your exposure level and diagnosis.

Does my VA benefit reduce my AFFF recovery?

No. VA disability compensation is separate and unaffected.
