In high-volume AFFF litigation, attorneys are under immense pressure to manage massive documentation and build compelling cases for dozens or even hundreds of plaintiffs. Each case demands precision, speed, and clarity especially when navigating complex medical records, product exposure, and causation.
Trivent Legal’s Plaintiff Fact Sheet (PFS) services are designed to lift this burden by offering comprehensive, tailored support. With a physician-led team, deep domain expertise, and a commitment to accuracy, we transform complexity into actionable insights so legal teams can focus on strategy, not paperwork.
The Complexity of AFFF Litigation
Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) has been widely used in firefighting and industrial environments due to its ability to suppress fuel fires. However, PFAS chemicals found in AFFF such as PFOA and PFOS have been linked to serious health risks, including several types of cancer.
Litigation tied to AFFF exposure involves multiple defendants, diverse exposure histories, and extensive medical documentation. For law firms, assembling each Plaintiff Fact Sheet becomes a time-consuming and often overwhelming task, especially when documentation is incomplete or scattered across multiple sources.
This is where Trivent Legal brings transformative value.
What Does a Comprehensive Plaintiff Fact Sheet Include?
A Plaintiff Fact Sheet is more than just a form. It is the legal cornerstone of each AFFF case, presenting the medical history, exposure details, diagnosis, and damages in a clear and court-ready format. Trivent Legal’s approach is precise, customized, and medically informed.
Each PFS we prepare includes:
- A fully organized chronological summary of medical events
- Identification of qualifying injuries, such as kidney, bladder, prostate, thyroid, and testicular cancer
- Clear documentation of symptom onset, diagnosis, and progression
- Analysis of the mode, duration, and location of AFFF exposure
- Identification of AFFF product names and manufacturers from medical and employment records
- Listings of medications, dosages, and treatment durations
- Records of surgical interventions, procedures, and rehabilitation timelines
- Calculation of lost wages using employment records and pay slips
- Review of medical bills, including out-of-pocket costs and unpaid expenses
- Documentation of physician statements linking illness to AFFF exposure
- Visual analog scale scores for pain and suffering, where recorded
We also include a summary of any missing or unclear information in a delivery note, allowing attorneys to quickly request additional records when necessary.
Designed for Precision and Speed
Every Plaintiff Fact Sheet prepared by Trivent Legal undergoes a physician-led review process. This ensures that complex medical terminology is translated into clear, relevant content that supports your legal argument. Our process prioritizes:
- Clarity for judges and juries
- Compliance with court-mandated formats
- Seamless attorney review and case building
- Swift identification of causation and claim value
We do not just fill out forms. We create a fully integrated, litigation-ready package that reflects the strength of the case and highlights what matters most clear links between AFFF exposure and diagnosed medical conditions.
Real Value in Every Step
Attorneys rely on Plaintiff Fact Sheets to advance claims and secure fair settlements. Our services directly address the key challenges that law firms face:
- Time savings: Let your legal team focus on trial strategy and client communication, while we manage the data gathering and organization.
- Medical clarity: Our doctors analyze diagnoses, treatments, and symptom timelines to ensure medical accuracy and strengthen your position on causation.
- Legal alignment: We document product exposure, treatment dates, and damages in a way that aligns with the demands of discovery, mediation, and trial.
- Reduced risk: By clearly stating what is present and what is missing, we help you avoid delays or disputes related to incomplete documentation.
Our Approach: Physician-Led and Attorney-Focused
Trivent Legal is not a generic vendor. We are a strategic partner in litigation. We combine the expertise of our medical team with deep legal awareness to deliver Plaintiff Fact Sheets that add measurable value.
Our team includes specialists in oncology, internal medicine, radiology, and occupational health. Every case is reviewed by an expert with relevant clinical experience.
We also maintain strict compliance with HIPAA and data security protocols. Your client’s information is protected at every stage.
When Missing Data Becomes a Roadblock
A key differentiator in our service is our transparent handling of missing or unavailable data. When we identify gaps such as missing product names, manufacturer details, diagnosis timelines, or medication information we do not guess or omit. Instead, we clearly mark such fields as “Not Available” and include a separate delivery note outlining the specific records that are still needed.
This ensures you are never blindsided in discovery or at trial. You stay in control, and your team can quickly act to retrieve what is missing.
The Impact of Structured, Reliable PFS Support
Let us consider a typical AFFF case.
The plaintiff is a retired firefighter diagnosed with prostate cancer. Our team compiles a PFS that clearly documents:
- Long-term occupational exposure to AFFF
- Symptom onset aligned with the exposure period
- Confirmation of diagnosis and pathology report findings
- A treatment plan including surgery and chemotherapy
- Missed work, lost wages, and impact on quality of life
- Out-of-pocket medical expenses and unpaid medical bills
Wherever available, we include physician notes linking the cancer to AFFF exposure, thereby strengthening the plaintiff’s legal position and settlement potential.
