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.

South Carolina Sex Abuse Lawsuit Updates

The law on sex abuse lawsuits is always evolving.  So let’s begin with recent updates on sexual abuse and assault claims in South Carolina:

Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, located in Chicago, Illinois, is a psychiatric facility that provides inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and adults. Owned and operated by UHS of Hartgrove, Inc., a subsidiary of Universal Health Services (UHS), the facility serves patients suffering from a range of psychiatric disorders, including depression, PTSD, ADHD, and behavioral disorders.

Despite its mission to provide psychiatric care, Hartgrove Hospital has faced persistent allegations of abuse, neglect, and institutional failures, particularly concerning the treatment of minors. Over the years, reports have surfaced of staff members exploiting patients, failure to supervise vulnerable minors, and systemic efforts to cover up abuse rather than report it. These allegations are consistent with issues found across multiple UHS-owned behavioral health facilities.

If you or a loved one experienced abuse at Hartgrove or another UHS facility, call us at 800-553-8082 or reach out to us confidentially online. We understand how difficult it is to come forward. Our job is to listen, to take you seriously, and to guide you through the legal process with respect and care. You deserve answers, accountability, and a legal team committed to helping you pursue fair compensation.

Every day, people are injured while riding in Uber vehicles—either as passengers or bystanders. When those injuries are serious, the aftermath is overwhelming. The good news is that Uber carries a $1 million liability policy that can provide substantial compensation in the right circumstances. The personal injury lawyers at Miller & Zois know how to navigate these cases and fight to get our clients the full value of their claims.

Why Uber Accidents Happen

Uber drivers are not professionals. They are everyday drivers using their own vehicles, often without specialized training or commercial licenses. They are under pressure to take more trips, follow GPS directions, and keep passengers happy. That combination leads to mistakes, and those mistakes ultimately result in crashes.  Because Uber passengers are frequently not wearing seatbelts, we see higher rates of ejection and severe injury.
