During the past few years, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”)—also known as “forever chemicals”—have rapidly transformed from an “emerging” risk into an “emerged” risk. Litigation against PFAS manufacturers and retailers has swelled and the defendants, in turn, are pursuing coverage for the underlying losses from their liability insurers. Battle lines between liability insurers and policyholders have now been drawn.

In an article published on August 20, 2024 in The Legal Intelligencer’s Special Section: 2024 Energy/Environmental Law, titled “PFAS Coverage Litigation: Emerging Lessons for Emerging Risks,” attorneys Patricia Santelle, Lynndon Groff and Morgan Liptak discuss coverage litigation involving PFAS and the lessons PFAS-related coverage disputes may yield for other risks as they potentially move from “emerging” to “emerged” status as well.
