AFFF/PFAS & Law Firm Further Details

At Jason J. Joy & Associates, a Houston-based law firm with licenses to practice in Texas and Louisiana, we are dedicated to helping victims of negligence secure the compensation they deserve. We understand the profound impact that serious injuries and illnesses can have on your life and the lives of your loved ones. That's why we operate on a contingency basis – meaning you don't pay us a fee unless we win your case. Your financial recovery is our priority, and we are committed to fighting tirelessly on your behalf.

We are issuing an urgent alert to firefighters, military personnel, and associated individuals across the nation who may have been exposed to AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) and PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) chemicals. The window for new client acquisition in AFFF/PFAS lawsuits is closing rapidly. Our current estimates suggest we have only 4 to 5 weeks left to initiate new claims. This is a critical, time-sensitive opportunity to seek justice and compensation for injuries sustained due to these harmful substances.

The Hidden Dangers of "Forever Chemicals" and Their Impact

AFFF, a firefighting foam historically used in military installations and fire training facilities, contains PFAS chemicals, often referred to as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment and the human body. Extensive scientific research has linked PFAS substances to a range of serious health issues.

If you or a loved one are a firefighter or associated personnel who had exposure to AFFF/PFAS post-1960, and experienced a minimum of 10 exposures over 4 or more years, you may have a viable claim. We are specifically prioritizing cases involving the following highly linked injuries, noting their approximate minimum latency periods (duration between first exposure and diagnosis) and requiring at least 5 or more exposures:

• Kidney Cancer: 10 years latency (can be less for aggressive types), minimum 5 exposures.
• Testicular Cancer: 5 years latency (can be less for aggressive types), minimum 5 exposures.
• Liver Cancer: 12 years latency, minimum 5 exposures.
• Thyroid Cancer: 5 years latency, minimum 3 exposures.
• Thyroid Disease: (Hypo- and hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease) 2 years latency, minimum 2 exposures.
• Ulcerative Colitis: 2 years latency, minimum 2 exposures.

We are focusing on claimants generally in the early 20s to 80s; minors and the extremely elderly are unlikely to qualify.
