Located between Satellite Beach and Cocoa Beach in Brevard County, Florida, Patrick Air Force Base was built in 1940 as Naval Air Station Banana River.
Since military firefighters would use aqueous film-forming foam, commonly known as AFFF, during their training, contamination with PFAS was inevitable.
Therefore, if you were stationed on Patrick Air Force Base for at least 1 year and developed a serious disease as a result of toxic exposure, you can file a claim to recover the compensation you deserve for your injury. With over three decades of experience in pursuing toxic exposure cases, our attorneys are here to help you receive the money you are entitled to.
In 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency found over 4.3 million parts per trillion of PFAS in the drinking water at Patrick Air Force Base, which is considerably above the permissible limit. For this reason, veterans and their family members who lived on base need to pay close attention to their health, as they are at high risk of developing a terrible disease as a consequence of exposure to PFAS. Both PFOS and PFOA were present in the drinking water of Patrick Air Force Base.
It is worthy of note that diseases that develop as a result of exposure to PFAS take several years to occur, as the dangerous chemicals gradually damage the organs in the body. The following are the diseases you can develop following PFAS exposure, as well as the diagnoses that make you eligible for compensation if you decide to take legal action:
You should know that if you have any other cancer than those above, you still qualify for compensation, as the disease has a definitive causal relation with exposure to PFAS, regardless of where it occurs in the body. If you notice a new onset of symptoms and were stationed at Patrick Air Force Base, please seek medical attention immediately, as you may have developed a serious disease. However, because these diseases are often misdiagnosed, it is a good idea to seek a second and even third opinion from medical specialists. In the regrettable event that you are indeed struggling with a disease as a result of PFAS exposure, our attorneys will help you file a claim to recover the financial compensation you deserve for your physical and emotional suffering. The only documents you will have to send your lawyer are your military and medical records, as the rest of the paperwork will be efficiently handled by our skilled legal team.
