FAQ
PFAS, AFFF & Contaminated Water Questions
- What is PFAS and why is it dangerous?
- PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic 'forever chemicals' that resist breakdown in the environment and the human body. Exposure has been linked by the EPA, CDC, and peer-reviewed studies to kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, high cholesterol, and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
- How was I exposed to PFAS in Pennsylvania?
- The most common Pennsylvania exposure routes are contaminated drinking water near military bases (including the former NAS Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove, Naval Air Warfare Center Warminster, and Horsham Air Guard Station), AFFF firefighting foam used by firefighters and at airports, and industrial discharges from manufacturing facilities that used PFAS in products like Teflon, Scotchgard, and stain-resistant coatings.
- What is AFFF firefighting foam and who qualifies for an AFFF lawsuit?
- Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a PFAS-based fire suppressant used for decades by military firefighters, civilian firefighters, and at commercial airports. Individuals with regular AFFF exposure who later developed kidney cancer, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, thyroid disease, or certain other conditions may qualify for the federal AFFF MDL pending in South Carolina (MDL 2873).
- Do I qualify if my drinking water was contaminated?
- Pennsylvania residents who drank PFAS-contaminated water — typically for one year or more — and were later diagnosed with a qualifying illness may have a claim. Bucks and Montgomery County water systems near former military bases have documented PFAS levels well above EPA health advisory limits.
- How long do I have to file a PFAS or AFFF claim?
- Pennsylvania's statute of limitations is generally two years from diagnosis or from when you reasonably should have connected your illness to PFAS exposure. Deadlines vary by case, so contact us promptly — waiting can permanently bar your claim.
- How much does it cost to have my case reviewed?
- Nothing. Case review is free and confidential. If your case is accepted and referred to PFAS co-counsel, representation is handled on a contingency-fee basis — no attorneys' fees unless there is a recovery. Clients may remain responsible for case costs and expenses; the written retainer will set out how costs are handled. Any fee-sharing arrangement is disclosed in writing before representation begins.
