Lathrop GPM Insurance Recovery attorneys Sarah Lintecum and Alana McMullin, along with LGPM Environmental & Tort Partner Ally Cunningham, recently co-authored an article for Law360 titled “Cos. Should Review Insurance Policies for PFAS Coverage.” (If you’re not yet familiar with PFAS, see Lathrop GPM’s primer on the topic.)
The article discusses recent changes by the EPA and other governing bodies aimed at regulating PFAS, including the proposed creation of an EPA Council on PFAS, the impact these changes may have on companies with potential PFAS liabilities, and the importance of insurance coverage.
One excerpt from the full article:
With the immense costs associated with PFAS regulations, such as defending lawsuits, responding to government investigations, testing and data collection, funding remediation, and potential liability for alleged personal injuries and property damage to third parties, insurance coverage undoubtedly will be crucial to many companies.
