Todd Shipyards Corporation Brooklyn was one of the largest and most prominent shipbuilding facilities in New York during the 20th century. The shipyard, located in Brooklyn's waterfront district, played a crucial role in both commercial shipbuilding and military vessel construction, particularly during World War II.
The facility was known for its advanced shipbuilding techniques and comprehensive repair services, employing thousands of workers throughout its operational years. Like many shipyards of its era, Todd Shipyards Corporation Brooklyn extensively used asbestos-containing materials in various applications, from insulation to fireproofing.
Exposure to asbestos in shipyards has been linked to numerous serious health conditions, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Other devastating conditions associated with asbestos exposure include ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer, renal (kidney) cancer, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Asbestos-related diseases have a uniquely long latency period, often taking decades for symptoms to manifest. This characteristic is specifically addressed by New York's "discovery rule" for 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 complex timelines, it's crucial to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. 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.
