Prediction

PFAS litigation citing environmental contamination and product-related exposures is predicted to rise as states and municipalities in the US enforce regulations and pursue actions regarding contaminated water. However, the prominent multi-district litigation in South Carolina leading the pack has narrowed, both in terms of active defendants (following recent substantial settlements) and scope (focusing on certain classes of alleged bodily injury). Nevertheless, new plaintiff groups will continue to emerge and new defendants will likely also enter the litigation arena as the scientific research and regulatory scrutiny intensifies.
