Firefighting Foam (AFFF) Cancer Lawsuits

For decades, firefighters, military personnel, and airport crews have used aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) to fight fuel fires. Many are now learning that this foam may contain toxic “forever chemicals” linked to cancer.

If you or a loved one were exposed to firefighting foam and later diagnosed with cancer, Pulaski Law Firm may be able to help you pursue compensation.

What Is AFFF and Why Is It a Problem?

AFFF is a specialized foam that helps put out jet fuel and other flammable liquid fires. It has been widely used at military bases, airports, refineries, and by local fire departments.

Many AFFF products contain PFAS, sometimes called “forever chemicals.” These substances can build up in the body and environment and have been linked to an increased risk of several cancers.

Cancers and Diseases Linked to Firefighting Foam

Research and government agencies have connected PFAS exposure to serious health problems, including:

  • Kidney cancer
  • Testicular cancer
  • Bladder or prostate cancer
  • Liver and pancreatic cancer
  • Leukemia and other blood cancers
  • Thyroid disease and thyroid cancer

If you have one of these conditions and a history of AFFF exposure, it is important to speak with both your doctor and an attorney.

Who May Qualify for an AFFF Lawsuit?

You may qualify to file an AFFF lawsuit if:

  • You worked as a firefighter, military service member, airport or industrial fire crew, or in another role where AFFF was used
  • You were later diagnosed with a PFAS-linked cancer or serious disease
  • You have medical records confirming your diagnosis

Even if you are not sure which foam brand you used, our team can help investigate your work history and exposure.

What Compensation Could Cover

Every case is different, but successful AFFF claims may provide money for:

  • Medical bills and future treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
