The Arthur Kill Generating Station is a major power plant located on Staten Island's west shore, operating since the 1950s as a crucial component of New York City's electrical infrastructure. The facility, operated by Con Edison until 1999 and later acquired by NRG Energy, has played a vital role in providing power to millions of New York residents through its coal and natural gas operations.
The power station underwent several modernization projects throughout its operational history, including major renovations in the 1990s to convert from coal to natural gas. Like many industrial facilities of its era, the Arthur Kill Generating Station utilized various asbestos-containing materials in its construction and operations, particularly in insulation, gaskets, and heat-resistant components.
Exposure to asbestos can lead to several devastating health conditions, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Other serious conditions linked to asbestos exposure include ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer, and renal (kidney) cancer, making it crucial for former workers to monitor their health closely.

Asbestos-related diseases have a unique characteristic - their long latency period, often taking decades for symptoms to manifest. New York's "discovery rule" accounts for this in asbestos cases. Under this rule, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim begins when the illness is discovered or should have been discovered with reasonable diligence, rather than from the date of exposure.
For personal injury claims in New York, the statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of discovery. In cases of wrongful death due to asbestos-related diseases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of death. Given these critical deadlines, it's essential to seek legal counsel promptly. The Porter Law Group can help you understand how these rules apply to your specific case and ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe.
