Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly found in firefighting foam, industrial products, and contaminated water sources, have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer, liver damage, and reproductive issues. Growing litigation targets manufacturers and companies responsible for PFAS exposure, with settlements and verdicts already reaching billions.

Key Litigation Factors

• Expanding MDL: Thousands of lawsuits are consolidated in federal multidistrict litigation (MDL), with ongoing settlements and new claims emerging.
• High-Value Claims: Compensation includes medical costs, lost wages, property devaluation, and punitive damages.
• Strong Liability Evidence: Decades of internal documents show manufacturers knew about PFAS dangers but failed to warn the public.
• Broad Plaintiff Pool: Cases include individuals with health conditions, municipalities seeking cleanup costs, and workers exposed to PFAS in industrial settings.

Case Criteria & Acquisition Strategy

Ideal Plaintiffs:

• Diagnosed with cancer (kidney, testicular, etc.) or other PFAS-linked conditions.
• Lived or worked near contaminated water sources or PFAS-heavy industries.

Law Firm Strategy:

• Use targeted digital & legal advertising for lead generation.
• Partner with lead providers for pre-screened, high-value claimants.
• Monitor MDL progress and establish early case positioning.
• Explore litigation funding and co-counsel partnerships.
