Knowing the Difference between PFAS & AFFF Contamination

Known Causes:

These chemicals are known to not break down easily in the environment or in the human body, and they can accumulate over time. This means that people and animals can be exposed to PFAS through drinking water, food, soil, air, and dust.

This foam comprises HIGHLY TOXIC SUBSTANCES known as PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL (PFAS). PFAS is commonly labeled as a “forever chemical” due to its persistent nature. The noxious substances contained within AFFF persist within an individual’s body for an extended period of time.

Lawsuits and Legal Process

The Process Of Filing A Lawsuit Involves The Following Steps:

Connect with Lawyer:

Let Injury Claims match you with an experienced lawyer who is experienced in product liability or personal injury cases. They can evaluate your case, advise you on your legal options, and represent you throughout the process.

Gather Evidence:This may include medical records, product labels, receipts, photos, and testimonies from experts and witnesses. Your lawyer can help you collect and organize the evidence and determine the best way to present it.

File a claim:The third step is to file a claim against the responsible parties, such as the manufacturers, distributors, or retailers of these products. Your lawyer can help you draft and submit the necessary documents and comply with the deadlines and procedures of the court. Depending on the jurisdiction and the number of plaintiffs involved, your claim may be filed as an individual lawsuit or as part of a class action or multidistrict litigation (MDL). Your lawyer can help you negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement that may cover your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Negotiate a settlement:The fourth step may be to negotiate a settlement with the defendants or their insurance companies. A settlement is an agreement to resolve the case without going to trial. It usually involves the payment of a certain amount of money to the plaintiff in exchange for dropping the lawsuit. Your lawyer can help you negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement that may cover your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Go to trial:The final step is to possibly go to trial if a settlement cannot be reached or if you reject the settlement offer. A trial is a formal proceeding where both sides present their arguments and evidence before a judge or jury who decides the outcome of the case. Your lawyer can help you prepare for trial and advocate for your rights and interests.

Key Differences Between Mass Tort and Class Action Lawsuits

Structure:

Mass Tort: Involves multiple individual lawsuits grouped together due to common elements or defendants.
Class Action Lawsuits: A single lawsuit brought on behalf of a larger group, known as the class, with a designated representative plaintiff.

Individual Control:

Mass Tort: Each plaintiff maintains control over their case and its resolution.
Class Action Lawsuits: Class members have limited control over the lawsuit, with decisions made by the representative plaintiff and their legal team.

Compensation:

Mass Tort: Compensation and settlements are determined individually, considering the unique circumstances and harm suffered by each plaintiff.
Class Action Lawsuits: Compensation and settlements are typically distributed uniformly among all class members, often on a pro-rata basis.

Applicability:

Mass Tort: Ideal when cases involve varying degrees of harm or distinct circumstances for each plaintiff.
Class Action Lawsuits: Effective when numerous claimants have similar claims and a uniform resolution is practical.

Efficiency:

Mass Tort: May be more time-consuming and complex due to individual case management.
Class Action Lawsuits: Generally more efficient in terms of time and resources as it consolidates claims into one proceeding.

Understanding these differences is crucial for both plaintiffs and defendants when determining the most appropriate legal strategy for addressing a collective grievance or harm.
