AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuits – Irmo, SC

Irmo, SC, is a thriving suburb of Columbia, known for its family-friendly neighborhoods and proximity to Lake Murray. However, beneath its peaceful surface, some Irmo residents and workers may face serious health risks due to exposure to toxic firefighting foam known as AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam). This substance, used widely by fire departments, military bases, and airports, has been linked to severe health problems, including cancer, due to its inclusion of hazardous PFAS chemicals.

The Solomon Law Group, LLC, located in Columbia, SC, is currently representing individuals in Irmo and across South Carolina who have been harmed by AFFF exposure. If you or a loved one has developed cancer or another serious illness after contact with AFFF, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit and pursue financial compensation.

The Dangers of AFFF and PFAS

AFFF is a fire suppressant used to extinguish flammable liquid fires. It has long been used by first responders and in training operations. Unfortunately, AFFF contains PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their resistance to breaking down in the environment or human body.

Studies have linked PFAS exposure to numerous health conditions, including:

  • Kidney cancer
  • Testicular cancer
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Liver damage
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Hormonal and immune system dysfunction

These health problems may take years to manifest, making it critical for those at risk to seek legal and medical guidance as soon as possible.

Who in Irmo May Be at Risk?

Although Irmo may seem far removed from industrial zones, the threat of AFFF exposure is still relevant for a number of individuals. At-risk groups in Irmo could include:

  • Firefighters and emergency responders
  • Military personnel and veterans
  • Airport or aviation workers (near Columbia Metropolitan Airport)

Legal Claims for AFFF Exposure in Irmo

If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer or another illness after exposure to AFFF, The Solomon Law Group, LLC can help you pursue a product liability lawsuit. These claims are typically filed against foam manufacturers who produced and sold the toxic product without adequate warning of the risks.

We help determine if you have a case by evaluating:

  • Your work or residential history and possible sources of exposure
  • Medical documentation confirming a related illness
  • Environmental testing, if applicable
  • Manufacturer liability and product traceability

Our team collaborates with scientific and legal experts to build strong, evidence-based claims on behalf of our clients.

A successful lawsuit may entitle you to compensation for:

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Lost income or diminished earning capacity
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Funeral costs in wrongful death cases
  • Loss of companionship or enjoyment of life

Punitive damages may also be awarded in cases where companies knowingly endangered public health by concealing the dangers of PFAS.
