PFAS Claim

Lawyer Solutions

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) claims refer to legal actions against manufacturers and other entities for the contamination and health effects caused by these chemicals. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals widely used in various industries since the 1940s for their water and grease-resistant properties. These chemicals are often referred to as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time.
