Is there an AFFF class action lawsuit?

No, there is no AFFF class action lawsuit for personal injury claims related to AFFF exposure. AFFF lawsuits are being handled through multidistrict litigation (MDL), which is a different legal process than a class action. While some law firms may refer to an “AFFF Class Action Lawsuit” or an “AFFF Class Action MDL,” the terms used here are incorrect in describing the structure of these legal actions.

What is the AFFF MDL?

Pending and ongoing AFFF lawsuits are being consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL). MDL is a federal legal process designed to simplify and expedite cases with similar facts and legal claims by consolidating them into a single district court. This approach helps ensure consistent rulings and allows cases to proceed more efficiently. The AFFF firefighting foam MDL is centralized in the US District Court for the District of South Carolina. In the event of a settlement, compensation would be based on the specific facts and circumstances of each case, unlike class actions where settlement amounts are distributed evenly among all claimants, regardless of individual factors.

What is the average AFFF lawsuit settlement?

As of now, there have been no settlements in the AFFF firefighting foam cases. However, experienced firefighting foam lawyers estimate that individual AFFF lawsuit settlement amounts could range from $20,000 and $1,000,000 (or more), depending on the specifics of each case. These are only projections based on previous mass tort cases and are not guaranteed amounts of compensation in the AFFF foam lawsuit. For more personalized insight, contact an AFFF attorney to discuss the details of your potential claim and what to expect.

What should I expect during the AFFF MDL process?

The MDL process typically involves gathering evidence, negotiating with defendants, and preparing for litigation if necessary. Throughout this process, your AFFF lawyers will keep you informed and guide you through each step, ensuring that you understand the progress of your case and what comes next.
