Join the Legal Action to Recover Compensation for PFA Injuries

PFAs, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are synthetic chemicals commonly found in everyday products like non-stick cookware, food packaging, and stain-resistant fabrics. Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAs are highly resistant to degradation, which means they can linger in the environment and accumulate in the human body over time. This persistence has raised significant health concerns, especially as PFAs have been detected in drinking water, soil, and even the blood of many people across the globe. Studies have linked PFA exposure to serious health risks, leaving communities and individuals seeking justice for the harm they’ve endured.

At Maggio Law, we understand the challenges those affected by PFA contamination face. We are dedicated to delivering exceptional legal representation backed by years of knowledge and experience in personal injury and environmental law.

Call ‘Maggio Law at 601-265-6869 for a free consultation to explore your legal options.

Health Risks of PFA Exposure

Exposure to PFAs has been associated with a wide range of health issues. The risks increase with prolonged exposure, as PFAs can accumulate in the body over time, leading to chronic health complications. These health risks highlight the need for affected individuals to seek compensation for their harm.

Common health risks linked to PFA exposure include:

Cancer

PFAs have been associated with an increased risk of certain types of cancers, including kidney and testicular cancer.

Hormonal Disruption

These chemicals can interfere with the endocrine system, leading to hormonal imbalances that affect various bodily functions.

Liver Damage

Studies have shown that PFA exposure can contribute to liver damage, impairing its ability to process toxins and affecting overall health.

Immune System Suppression

PFA exposure can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections and illnesses.

Thyroid Disorders

PFAs may disrupt thyroid function, causing hypothyroidism or other thyroid-related health issues.

The Class Action Process

Joining a class action lawsuit allows individuals affected by PFAs to collectively pursue legal action, sharing resources and strengthening their case against large corporations. The class action process generally involves several key stages:

  • Investigation: Attorneys gather evidence regarding the sources and extent of PFA exposure and assess potential health impacts on affected communities.
  • Certification: The court determines whether the lawsuit meets the criteria to proceed as a class action, enabling a group of plaintiffs to file as one.
  • Settlement Discussions: Lawyers negotiate with the defendants, seeking a fair settlement to compensate the affected individuals.
  • Potential Trial: If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may go to trial, where attorneys present evidence and advocate for maximum compensation for the plaintiffs.

By participating in a class action, individuals gain the support of a collective effort while reducing individual legal costs.

Eligibility for PFAs Class Action Lawsuits

If exposed to PFAs, you may be eligible to join a class action lawsuit, especially if you can trace the exposure to a common source. Five common sources of PFA exposure include:

  • Drinking Water: Many communities have detected PFA contamination in their water supply.
  • Household Products: Items like non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and water-resistant clothing often contain PFAs.
  • Food Packaging: Fast food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, and other packaging can transfer PFAs to food.
  • Industrial Worksites: Employees in chemical manufacturing, firefighting, and other industries face higher PFA exposure risks.
  • Agricultural Products: Fertilizers and soil treated with PFAs-laden waste can introduce these chemicals into crops and livestock.

Individuals exposed to PFAs through these or other sources and who have suffered health issues as a result may qualify for compensation.

Potential Claims and Compensation for PFA Cases

PFA lawsuits generally focus on claims related to negligence, failure to warn, and environmental contamination. The companies responsible for PFA contamination may be liable for failing to properly test their products, neglecting to disclose risks, or contributing to widespread environmental harm. Victims may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:

  • Medical Expenses: Coverage for current and future medical treatments related to exposure to PFAs.
  • Property Damage: Compensation for cleaning or replacing contaminated water systems, soil, or other property.
  • Emotional Distress: Damages for the psychological impact of health risks and concerns related to exposure.
