Firefighting foam (aqueous film-forming foam “AFFF”)) is a chemical product that has been used for years by firemen and in other commercial applications to extinguish fires.

However, various studies have recently shown that chronic use or exposure to firefighting can cause certain types of cancer. This discovery has led to a wave of firefighting foam lawsuits by former firemen and others who developed cancer after long periods of occupational exposure to AFF.

Our lawyers are accepting new clients in all 50 states for inclusion in the nationwide AFFF class action lawsuit.

Pressure cookers have been causing devastating harm to their users. This has led to defective pressure cooker injury lawsuits.  Our lawyers are handling pressure cooker injury claims not only in Maryland but around the country.

With over 53 million Americans owning some brand of a pressure cooker, the safety of the cookers is a huge concern. It is an incredibly flexible weapon in cooking. But the rush to grab profits in this competitive market has led some manufacturers to cut corners. Since 2006, many different brands of pressure cookers have been recalled for many reasons regarding their safety. The impact of these recalls and the harm pressure cookers are causing is concerning.  Defective pressure cookers too often lead to serious and avoidable injuries.

Our Maryland-based attorneys are reviewing Camp Lejeune water poisoning lawsuits in all 50 states.

For 35 years (from the 1950s to the 1980s) an estimated 1 million former residents and employees at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps base in North Carolina were being supplied with drinking water that was poisoned with massive levels of industrial chemicals. Subsequent studies have shown that exposure to these chemicals caused former Camp Lejeune personnel to suffer higher rates of cancer, birth defects, and other diseases.

Sadly, an austere law in North Carolina has prevented these victims from pursuing justice.  But there is now a new law that gives Camp Lejeune water contamination victims the right to file water contamination lawsuits and get compensation for their injuries.

Our lawyers have high hopes for the Paraquat lawsuit.  Our attorneys are handling these claims in all 50 states.  Our attorneys believe the science strongly supports the premise that Paraquat exposure causes Parkinson’s disease.

As our lawyers discuss below, the Paraquat Parkinson’s disease lawsuit may have higher projected individual settlement amounts than any other mass tort in the country.

Let’s start with the latest news in the Paraquat class action lawsuit and then get into what these claims are about.

Our attorneys are handling Camp Lejeune lawsuits in all 50 states.

Marines and their family who lived at Camp Lejeune may have been exposed to contaminated drinking water between 1953 and 1987.   There is solid evidence that this toxic water caused people who ingested it to develop cancer and other health complications.

Victims has been denied the right to seek compensation for their injuries.  Marines fought back of the course of many years for justice.  Now, finally, justice is at hand.  A new law allows Marines and their families to file a Camp Lejeune lawsuit and seek settlement compensation.

The hernia mesh lawsuits have been litigated for years.  For victims seeking settlement compensation, it has been a never-ending road.  But with the court bouncing back from COVID, two trials are on the way that could be the bridge to a class action hernia mesh settlement to finally bring victims overdue settlement compensation for the harm done to them.

Over the last decade, countless individuals who underwent hernia repair surgeries subsequently suffered pain and serious injuries caused by a defective hernia mesh implant that was used in their procedure. There are currently thousands of hernia mesh lawsuits currently pending across the country and they have been consolidated into three separate class action MDLs.

Progress in all the hernia mesh class action MDLs got interrupted by the pandemic and resulting court closures. Now things are opening back up and it is shaping up to be an action-packed summer on the hernia mesh litigation front. In this post, we will look at the current status of each of the 3 separate hernia mesh MDLs and what to expect this summer as the first round of bellwether test trials get underway.
