Were you diagnosed With Cancer After PFAS Exposure?

At Tort Advisor, we’re here to help you take action if you’ve been affected by PFAS exposure – especially if it has led to PFAS-related cancer. These so-called “Forever Chemicals” are found in drinking water, household products, and even food packaging. Once in your body, they don’t break down, increasing the risk of kidney cancer and other serious health issues.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, don’t wait – time to file a claim is limited. Act fast to protect your rights and pursue compensation.

These cancers are commonly cited in lawsuits linked to PFAS exposure. Research has shown that PFAS increases the risk of these cancers, making them a focal point for legal claims.

• Liver Damage
  Liver damage is a major health concern tied to PFAS exposure. Victims frequently report liver-related issues, which often lead to legal actions against manufacturers.

• Thyroid Disease
  A clear link exists between PFAS exposure and thyroid disease, resulting in a rise in claims from those affected by this health issue.

• Immune Dysfunction
  PFAS exposure has been associated with immune system dysfunction, prompting claims for compensation due to its long-term health effects.

• Reproductive Issues
  Victims often report issues like low birth weight and developmental delays, especially among those exposed during pregnancy, leading to lawsuits focused on reproductive health.

• High Cholesterol
  High cholesterol levels have been connected to PFAS exposure, and this health issue is frequently included in related legal claims.

PFAS cancer doesn’t appear out of nowhere. Exposure often comes from everyday sources you wouldn’t expect, such as:

• Tap Water Contamination: PFAS enters public water systems due to industrial runoff and firefighting foam used near military bases and airports. See the U.S. Geological Survey findings on PFAS in tap water.

• Workplace Exposure: If you’ve worked in manufacturing, firefighting, or military operations, chances are high that you’ve been exposed to PFAS — potentially putting you at risk for PFAS cancer.

• Common Products: Items like non-stick pans, water-repellent gear, and stain-resistant furniture are often treated with PFAS. Learn more from the CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).

If you or someone close to you is facing kidney cancer and has had prolonged PFAS exposure, you may be dealing with PFAS cancer and could be eligible to take legal action.

Many people don’t realize they have kidney cancer — often associated with PFAS cancer — until it’s advanced. Common symptoms include:

• Blood in the urine

• Persistent pain in the side or lower back

• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

• Swelling in the legs or ankles

Tort Advisor encourages regular medical check-ups, especially if you live near known PFAS contamination zones or have worked in high-risk environments.

PFAS exposure is one of the most significant environmental risk factors for kidney cancer today. While genetics, smoking, and high blood pressure play a role, more and more PFAS cancer cases are linked directly to chemical exposure in water, air, and consumer products. Read more on NIH studies linking PFAS to cancer.

Every PFAS cancer diagnosis is unique, and so are the treatment plans. Your doctor might recommend:

• Surgical Removal: Removing part or all of the kidney to stop the cancer from spreading.

• Targeted Therapy: Drugs that specifically attack cancerous cells caused by PFAS exposure.

• Immunotherapy: Treatments that empower your immune system to recognize and fight PFAS cancer.

• Radiation or Chemotherapy: Used in certain cases depending on how aggressive the cancer is.

• Monitoring: For less aggressive tumors, observation might be the best first step.

At Tort Advisor, we can connect you with resources to help manage treatment expenses and understand your legal options.

You may qualify if:

• You lived or worked in an area where PFAS water contamination occurred after 1990 for at least six months.

• You were diagnosed with kidney cancer (or other qualifying PFAS-related illnesses) after 2000.

Use tools like the PFAS-REACH contamination map or the EPA’s PFAS data dashboard to determine if your water source was contaminated. Blood testing can also detect PFAS levels and reinforce your claim.

Providing medical records, pathology reports, or a written diagnosis from your healthcare provider is usually enough to support your claim.

PFAS exposure is widespread, but some regions are more affected than others. High-risk areas include:

• Communities near airports or fire training sites

• Towns close to military bases or chemical plants

• States along the East Coast, California, and parts of the Midwest

There are over 12,000 PFAS types, but several are directly tied to health issues:

• PFOA: Linked to kidney and testicular cancer.

• PFOS: Associated with immune and reproductive disorders.

• PFNA, PFDA, PFHxS: Tied to cholesterol issues, liver enzyme changes, and poor vaccine responses.

See the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification of PFAS substances.

Each PFAS cancer case is different, but you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses

• Lost wages

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress

• Loss of quality of life

Tort Advisor helps victims calculate potential damages and connect with trusted legal representation.

No — PFAS cancer lawsuits are typically filed under mass tort litigation, specifically multidistrict litigation (MDL). Unlike class actions, MDLs allow for individual assessments and can lead to higher compensation.

Most PFAS cancer attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Legal fees are only collected if your case results in a successful settlement or court award.

Every state has a statute of limitations that determines how long you have to file a claim. Missing the deadline could bar you from receiving compensation. Contact Tort Advisor to ensure your rights are protected in time.
