This page is about the Valsartan lawsuits that are finally heading towards a trial in 2025.

Valsartan is a popular blood-pressure drug used by millions of people in the U.S. and sold under the brand names Diofan and Exforge.

You may be here because you or someone in your family is dealing with a diagnosis like acute myeloid leukemia or another blood cancer. These conditions are devastating on their own. When they are linked to toxic chemicals like benzene, the frustration is even greater.

Benzene has been tied to cancer for decades. The research is clear. Workers have brought benzene exposure lawsuits across the country, and juries have awarded significant verdicts in many cases. Families have negotiated benzene lawsuit settlements after showing that their exposure on the job or in the community caused leukemia, multiple myeloma, or other blood-related diseases.

If you are considering a benzene lawsuit, you are likely wondering how the process works, whether your case qualifies, and what kind of compensation is possible. The answers are specific to your situation, but the starting point is always the same: understanding how exposure happens and how the law allows victims to bring claims.

Our lawyers are helping victims who want to bring a Gardasil HVP vaccine lawsuit throughout the United States.  Our law firm is particularly focused on ovarian failure cases that lead to infertility in women who have taken Gardasil in the last few years.

Gardasil is a vaccine intended to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV), which can sometimes lead to cervical cancer in women. Gardasil was developed by the embattled pharmaceutical company Merck & Co.

Merck obtained FDA approval for Gardasil in 2006 based on deceptive research and clinical trials that misrepresented the vaccine’s efficacy while concealing its safety risks and side effects. Merck then launched an aggressive and highly misleading marketing campaign to include millions of parents vaccinating their pre-teen daughters with Gardasil.

The Bair Hugger is a medical device that is used to keep patients warm and regulate body temperature during surgery. New research has shown, however, that the Bair Hugger increases the risk of infections by pushing bacteria into the body during surgery. This has prompted thousands of Bair Hugger infection lawsuits, which have been consolidated into a class action MDL. Continue reading

Consumer product safety testing has confirmed that several dry shampoo products contain dangerously high levels of benzene, a known human carcinogen. This discovery has led to sweeping product recalls and the filing of multiple consumer class action lawsuits across the United States over the past 18 months.

Emerging evidence suggests that long-term use of benzene-contaminated dry shampoo products may increase the risk of leukemia, lymphoma, and other forms of blood cancer. Our national mass tort law firm is now reviewing claims for individuals who used aerosol dry shampoo products regularly and were later diagnosed with any blood-related cancer.

Our law firm  was handling Philips CPAP machine lawsuits for injuries from the recalled Philips CPAP machine.

The Philips recall covered an estimated 3.5 million sleep apnea devices. A CPAP class action lawsuit with thousands of plaintiffs has been consolidated into a multi-district litigation (MDL-1230). So, every Philips CPAP lawsuit in federal court—filed in New York, California, Texas, or wherever—was consolidated in federal court in Pennsylvania.

After the settlement, we are no longer reviewing new cases.

Millions of families in the U.S. may have had drinking water contaminated with PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl) substances commonly known as “forever chemicals.” PFAS include perfluorooctane sulfonate (“PFOS”) and perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA”). These chemicals have been used for various industrial purposes for years, including use in firefighting foam products used to put out chemical fires.

Using PFAS around the country has led to widespread groundwater contamination. Exposure to PFAS in contaminated groundwater has been shown to cause cancer and other health conditions. If you have been diagnosed with cancer after being exposed to water contaminated with PFAS, you may be able to file a lawsuit and get financial compensation. This page will provide news and updates about PFAS water contamination lawsuits and our estimated settlement value of these cases.

If you have cancer and believe it was from PFAS exposure, call our PFAS lawyers today at 800-553-8082 or get a no-obligation free consultation online.   Our law firm makes it easy to sign up for a water contamination lawsuit and to get compensation.

This page examines AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits involving testicular cancer and their potential settlement value.

Aqueous film-forming foam (“AFFF”), commonly referred to as firefighting foam, has been used for a long time to extinguish fires fueled by gasoline and other chemicals. Firefighting foam contains high concentrations of PFAS, and new scientific evidence has linked PFAS exposure to certain cancer types.

Testicular cancer is one of the diseases that has been scientifically linked to occupational exposure to AFFF firefighting foam. Our lawyers like these cases. We think the link between testicular cancer and firefighting foam is overwhelming. Our attorneys also think these lawsuits have a strong chance of settling in 2025. If the defendants are going to target types of claims to settle, testicular cancer cases would be an excellent place to start.
