PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are creating significant and escalating liability concerns for insurers and their clients. Claims related to PFAS exposure, now detected in the blood of most Americans, continue to rise, with more than 15,000 cases currently pending in federal court. As insurance attorney Scott Seaman told Law360, “with PFAS, I think we may have found something to rival asbestos” — a warning that rising settlement costs could push PFAS‑related liabilities well beyond those historically associated with asbestos.

These risks extend not only to PFAS manufacturers but also to companies that continue using PFAS in their products despite known environmental and health impacts.

An Insurance Journal article reported that most insurers now mandate PFAS exclusions on general and products liability policies, as carriers grow increasingly cautious amid escalating litigation and the rising cost of large settlements in the courts.
