AFFF Exposure in the Navy

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

AFFF firefighting foam has been used for decades to put out fires fueled by chemicals like gasoline. New research has shown that prolonged exposure to the chemicals in AFFF can cause cancer, leading to thousands of lawsuits across the country. Anyone who served in the Navy had a high risk of being exposed to AFFF. In this post, we will look at the connection between AFFF and cancer and why men and women and who were in the Navy may have been exposed to AFFF.

About AFFF Firefighting Foam

AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) is a type of firefighting foam that is specifically designed to extinguish liquid fuel fires, particularly those involving jet fuels such as JP-5 and JP-8 used in aircraft. AFFF works by forming a film or blanket of foam over the fuel, which suppresses the fire by separating the fuel from oxygen and cooling the fuel surface.

Mass Tort Leads Pricing in 2024

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our firm does not buy mass tort leads for many reasons, not the least of which is that we do not believe mass tort lead generation companies deliver quality claims. But it goes deeper than that. There is nothing morally or ethically wrong with buying mass tort leads. But it just feels icky, at least to us.

That said, I follow the pricing pretty closely. Why? It is the closest thing we have to a free market economy that produces the expectations associated with certain pieces of mass tort litigation.

Zantac Bladder Cancer Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Bladder cancer is the focus of the ongoing Zantac lawsuit. In this post, we will look at bladder cancer in personal injury lawsuits.

As of 2025, bladder cancer has emerged as the strongest claim in the Zantac litigation. Among the various cancers originally alleged, the scientific evidence linking Zantac (ranitidine) to bladder cancer is particularly compelling. This is due to the way NDMA forms after ingestion and accumulates in the bladder. By contrast, recent trials involving Zantac-related prostate cancer have not gone well for plaintiffs, which has only reinforced the shift toward focusing on stronger claims.

Our firm is now accepting new Zantac lawsuits only for individuals diagnosed with bladder or liver cancer. If you developed bladder cancer after using Zantac regularly, you may be eligible to file a claim in state court.

What is Happening with the Paraquat Lawsuits?

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Paraquat is a commercial-grade herbicide used in the agriculture industry. Over the last decade, new scientific research has shown that frequent use or exposure to Paraquat can increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease. This discovery has prompted thousands of Paraquat lawsuits by individuals who used or were around Paraquat in an occupation setting and subsequently developed Parkinson’s disease.

The Paraquat lawsuits were consolidated into a class action MDL in the Southern District of Illinois (In re: Paraquat Prod. Liab. Lit. – 3:21-MD-3004). The Paraquat MDL is now heading into its 3rd year and 2024 could potentially be a pivotal year for this mass tort. The first round of bellwether test trials were basically canceled after the MDL Judge excluded most of the plaintiffs’ key expert witness testimony. Now the parties are quickly preparing a new group of test cases for bellwether trials, which probably won’t happen until early 2025 (or even later).

This page talks about where this litigation is in June 2024, and what we can expect moving forward.
