PFAS Injury Lawsuit

PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been used in industrial and consumer products since the 1940s. Commonly known as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down naturally, PFAS include well-known compounds such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). These chemicals have been linked to severe health problems, environmental contamination, and widespread exposure through everyday items like non-stick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, firefighting foam, and more. 

If you or a loved one has been impacted by PFAS exposure, you may be eligible for compensation. At Singleton Schreiber, we are committed to holding those who use and manufacture these chemicals accountable. Contact us today to learn more about your options.

What Are PFAS and What Makes Them Harmful?

PFAS are a class of thousands of synthetic chemicals engineered for their resistance to water, oil, and heat. These properties make them popular for use in many household and industrial products, but they also increase the prevalence of PFAS in the environment and the human body. 

Once PFAS enter the bloodstream, they can remain for years. Over time, they can build up and interfere with organ function, hormone production, and immune response. What makes PFAS particularly dangerous is how easily they spread. They can spread through air, water, soil, and food. Once they are present in ecosystems and water, they are extremely difficult to remove. 

What Are The Different Types of PFAS and What Are They Used For?

There are thousands of PFAS compounds, but several are especially well-studied due to their prevalence and toxicity. The most common and well-known PFAS include:

• PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) – commonly used in non-stick cookware coatings
• PFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate) – used in stain-resistant fabrics and firefighting foam
• PFNA, PFHxs, GenX chemicals – found in food packaging, personal care items, and industrial processes and manufacturing

PFAS have been incorporated into a wide variety of consumer and commercial goods, causing a vast majority of the population to be exposed. Common places where PFAS can be found include:

• Non-stick cookware (Teflon)
• Water- and stain-resistant carpets and clothing
• Food wrappers and fast-food containers
• Firefighting foam (AFFF)
• Cleaning supplies and cosmetics
• And more

The Effects of Exposure to PFAS on Your Health

Scientific studies have linked PFAS exposure to a range of serious and sometimes life-threatening health conditions. These effects may depend on the level, duration, and method of exposure, but even low-level exposure over time can pose risks. 

Commonly reported health problems linked to PFAS exposure include:

• Cancer: Kidney and testicular cancers are among the most closely associated with PFAS
• Liver Damage: Including elevated liver enzymes and fatty liver disease
• Immune System Suppression: Reduced vaccine efficacy and increased vulnerability to infections
• Thyroid Disorders: Especially hypothyroidism, which can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and depression 
• Reproductive Issues: Low birth weight, preeclampsia, developmental delays, and reduced fertility
• High Cholesterol: Elevated LDL levels, which may increase cardiovascular risks

Even small amounts of PFAS in drinking water or food can accumulate in the body over time, compounding the potential health risks. 

Who Can File a PFAS Exposure Lawsuit?

Individuals who have experienced significant exposure to PFAS may be eligible to file a legal claim, especially those who were regularly exposed through their environment or occupation. The following groups are often most affected: 

• Industrial and Military Workers: Firefighters, chemical plant employees, and military personnel frequently handled PFAS-containing materials
• Communities Near Contaminated Sites: Residents living near military bases, airports, factories, or landfills may have had prolonged exposure through drinking water or soil
• Frequent Consumers of Contaminated Fish or Game: People who rely on local fish or wild game from polluted areas may have accumulated PFAS in their bodies over time. 

If you belong to one of these groups and have been diagnosed with a related health condition, you may be entitled to pursue compensation. 

What Damages Are Available to Me If I Have Been Impacted by Exposure to PFAS?

Those who have been affected by PFAS contamination may be entitled to significant compensation. Depending on your case, you may be able to recover damages for:

• Medical costs: including doctor visits, testing, treatment, medications, and long-term care.
• Lost income: compensation for wages lost due to illness, disability, or caregiving.
• Property damage: costs associated with decontaminating or replacing polluted water systems or soil.
• Pain and suffering: for physical and emotional harm caused by PFAS-related illness.
