Can I file a lawsuit if I haven't been diagnosed with cancer yet?

Yes, you can file a PFAS lawsuit seeking medical monitoring compensation even without a current cancer diagnosis if you have documented exposure to contaminated water and elevated PFAS blood levels. Medical monitoring claims seek funds for ongoing health screenings to detect PFAS-related conditions early, when treatment is most effective, recognizing that these chemicals remain in your body for years and health effects may develop decades after exposure.

What if I lived near Warminster but used public water, not well water?

Public water systems throughout the Warminster area were contaminated with PFAS from the former Naval Air Warfare Center, not just private wells. Testing revealed that 15 public wells operated by Warminster Township Municipal Authority exceeded safe levels, affecting 32,000 residents who received contaminated water through the public system, with similar contamination found in Warrington Township and Horsham Water and Sewer Authority systems before their closure in July 2014.

How much will it cost to hire a PFAS lawyer?

PFAS lawyers work on contingency fee arrangements, typically charging 33-40% of any settlement or verdict obtained, meaning you pay nothing upfront and attorneys only collect fees if they successfully recover compensation for your case. Law firms advance all case expenses including expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, court filing fees, and deposition costs during litigation, with these expenses reimbursed from your settlement, ensuring that financial constraints don’t prevent valid claims from being pursued.

Can family members of deceased victims file claims?

Yes, Pennsylvania law permits eligible family members to file wrongful death claims if their loved one died from PFAS-related conditions such as kidney cancer, testicular cancer, or other linked diseases. Spouses, children, and parents typically qualify as beneficiaries who can seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and emotional suffering, though specific eligibility rules and damage types vary, making consultation with an attorney important to learn about your family’s rights.

What's the difference between the Navy lawsuit and manufacturer lawsuits?

The U.S. military enjoys broad sovereign immunity protections under the Federal Tort Claims Act, making direct lawsuits against the Navy for PFAS contamination extremely difficult and typically unsuccessful. Chemical manufacturers like 3M, DuPont, and others must be held accountable because they knew about PFAS dangers for decades but continued producing and selling AFFF products without adequate warnings, making them the primary targets for compensation claims despite the military’s role in actual contamination.

How long do I have to file a Warminster PFAS lawsuit?

Pennsylvania generally allows two years from diagnosis or discovery of the connection between your illness and PFAS exposure to file a personal injury lawsuit, though the discovery rule recognizes that toxic exposure victims may not immediately understand what caused their condition. Missing the statute of limitations permanently eliminates your right to any compensation regardless of your injuries’ severity, making immediate attorney consultation vital to protect your legal rights and ensure timely filing.
