Many businesses using AFFF, including neighborhood fire departments, might not have known much about the possible negative impacts of those substances. On the other hand, the businesses that make those fire suppression devices may have known about the risks for a very long time. Yet, despite knowing this, these companies did nothing to protect the public, including the firefighters who risked their lives to help put out the fires and save lives and property.
For individuals who experienced significant diagnoses and symptoms due to their AFFF exposure, Goldblatt + Singer is seeking justice. In addition, we are investigating complaints, assessing the difficulties suffered by those who have dealt with those diagnoses, and pursuing legal action against the businesses that created and distributed AFFF for fire suppression.
