People nationwide are pursuing lawsuits against manufacturing giants that allowed dangerous forever chemicals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), to contaminate the environment and ultimately make their way into the public water supply, local water sources, and private wells. PFAS-contaminated drinking water has been linked to several types of cancer and other serious health conditions, and they should be held liable for this harm.

PFAS are often referred to as forever chemicals because they do not break down easily or quickly. This makes them a good option for making water- and grease-resistant and nonstick coatings for durable products. They are also used in some types of firefighting foam. However, it also means they remain in the environment “forever” once they find their way into the dirt, groundwater supply, or waterways.
According to a June 2024 map published in Newsweek, PFAS contamination is truly a national public health concern. This map shows contaminated public water systems or water supplies in every state and territory. PFAS are not removed from drinking water with the types of treatments usually employed by public water system administrators. To remediate public water systems or private wells requires special—and expensive— efforts.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized the major public health concern posed by PFAS-contaminated drinking water and classified perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances as hazardous substances. This designation under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), along with the supporting epidemiological and toxicological studies, allows the EPA to hold parties accountable.
PFAS contamination of drinking water is a major concern because of the serious medication conditions linked to these forever chemicals. This could include thyroid disease and several types of cancer. Some of the possible indications of a PFAS-related condition or injury include:
The diagnoses that could qualify you to pursue a PFAS injury claim include:
If you received a cancer diagnosis recently or in the past and believe PFAS-contaminated drinking water could play a role, we will assess your options and help you get justice.
If you believe you have had exposure to PFAS chemicals in a water source, you may have a claim. Each case is different, so we will be happy to discuss qualifying conditions and circumstances with you.
The associated attorneys at Fresh Start Immigration Law are currently accepting these cases and representing victims. A class action or multi-district litigation mass tort may be possible in the future.
If we can show you have a valid PFAS injury claim, you can demand fair compensation from the companies responsible for PFAS exposure in your area. Our associated PFAS injury lawyers can help you navigate this process and seek money to pay for your:
Depending on the case facts, applicable laws, and other factors, punitive damages could be available in some PFAS injury claims.
Some family members have filed wrongful death claims related to PFAS injuries. These cases could result in recovering compensation based on the state’s wrongful death and survival action laws. They are generally based on the illness and death of someone who met the qualifying rules of the case but passed away before filing a PFAS injury claim.
Cleaning up contamination and treating water systems is expensive. Both public water system administrators and property owners with private wells are facing expensive testing and remediation when levels are too high.
Through public water system remediation claim settlements, several companies have agreed to create $1 billion+ funds to cover the costs of state and municipal water supplies. This includes DuPont and 3M.
Individuals, mobile home communities, and others with private wells are currently filing claims to recover the money necessary to ensure their wells are free from high levels of PFAS. Our associated attorneys are representing property owners with contaminated wells in these cases.
The time to act is now. While public water system administrators have had their day to fight for justice and compensation (and some of these cases continue), individuals who suffered harm due to PFAS contamination should get started with their claims right away. Even though the first PFAS-contaminated water case was filed in 1999, many of these cases are still in their infancy.
