General Electric's Schenectady facility, established in 1892, stands as one of the most significant industrial sites in New York's history. This massive complex, spanning over 600 acres at its peak, served as GE's main manufacturing center and corporate headquarters, producing everything from turbines and generators to industrial equipment and consumer appliances.
The facility employed thousands of workers throughout the 20th century and was known for its innovative technological developments and manufacturing capabilities. However, like many industrial facilities of its era, GE's Schenectady plant extensively used asbestos-containing materials in various applications, from insulation to electrical 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 an unusually long latency period, often taking decades for symptoms to manifest. New York's "discovery rule" accounts for this unique characteristic in asbestos cases. Under this rule, the statute of limitations 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, victims have three years from the date of discovery to file a claim. In wrongful death cases related to asbestos exposure, families have two years from the date of death to take legal action. The Porter Law Group can help ensure your claim is filed within these crucial deadlines.
Victims of asbestos exposure may be eligible for compensation covering:
