Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
West Virginia has historical significance in PFAS litigation as the state where DuPont's Washington Works facility in Parkersburg discharged PFOA into the Ohio River for decades, leading to the landmark Bilott litigation and the C8 Science Panel. The 130th Airlift Wing at Yeager Airport in Charleston has also documented PFAS from AFFF operations.
