AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit
Since the 1960s, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been widely used at airports and military bases for firefighting. However, AFFF contains perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which have been linked to cancer and other serious health conditions.
Our AFFF firefighting foam attorneys anticipate that most of these lawsuits will be settled in 2025 before reaching trial. Why? The defendants have a track record of opting for settlements in similar cases, such as the massive water contamination lawsuits that resulted in billion-dollar payouts. Rather than face the uncertainty of jury trials and potentially massive verdicts, they are likely to follow the same approach in the AFFF litigation.
As we approach trials for individual firefighting foam cases, we believe mounting legal pressure will push the defendants toward an early 2025 settlement. Below, we provide the latest estimates on potential settlement payouts for claimants in these cases.
It’s important to act quickly - every claim is subject to statute of limitations concerns, and a global settlement could be finalized sooner than expected.
