An Insuranews article published on February 11, 2026,
PFAS Insurance Liability Challenges: Overview of Regulatory and Litigation Issues, reports that 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 courts. Increasing settlement costs are predicted to push PFAS‑related liabilities 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 posted that insurance companies are increasingly excluding coverage for PFAS-related claims due to the rising cost of large settlements in the courts.
