WELCOME TO DOWNWINDERS®

At Downwinders®, we are here to support individuals and families who have been impacted by cancers or leukemia diagnoses within the past 70 years while living in certain areas of the United States. If you or a family member have lived in the designated affected areas, including the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, or Utah, during a specific period of time, you may be eligible for significant compensation. The compensation, offered by the Federal Government, addresses the consequences of radioactive nuclear fallout originating from the Nevada Test Site.
