Wilson Medical Center, located in Binghamton, New York, has been a cornerstone of healthcare in the Southern Tier region for decades. Established in the early 20th century, this medical facility has played a crucial role in providing comprehensive medical services to the local community and surrounding areas.
As with many older buildings, Wilson Medical Center may have utilized asbestos-containing materials in its construction and maintenance prior to the 1980s. This common practice in older structures potentially exposed workers, patients, and visitors to harmful asbestos fibers, which can lead to serious health consequences years after exposure.
Asbestos exposure can result in various devastating health conditions, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Other less common but equally serious asbestos-related diseases include ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer, renal (kidney) cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Asbestos exposure can lead to several serious health conditions, including:
1. Mesothelioma: A rare and aggressive cancer affecting the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart.
2. Lung Cancer: Asbestos exposure significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer.
3. Asbestosis: A chronic lung disease causing scarring of lung tissue and breathing difficulties.
4. Pleural Plaques: Thickened areas on the lung lining that can cause chest pain and breathing problems.
5. Pleural Thickening: A condition where the lung lining becomes thicker, restricting breathing capacity.
Mesothelioma is a devastating cancer with a long latency period, often taking 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure for symptoms to appear. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma and have a history of working at or visiting Wilson Medical Center, you may be eligible for compensation.
The Porter Law Group understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll that mesothelioma takes on patients and their families. We are dedicated to helping you navigate the legal process and fight for the compensation you deserve. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation and learn about your legal options.
Several parties may be held liable for asbestos exposure, including:
1. Hospital administrators: If they knew about the presence of asbestos and failed to take appropriate action.
2. Building owners: Those responsible for maintaining the facility.
3. Manufacturers: Companies that produced asbestos-containing materials used in the hospital.
4. Contractors: Businesses involved in the installation or removal of asbestos-containing materials.
5. Suppliers: Companies that distributed asbestos-containing products to the medical center.
Determining liability in asbestos cases can be complex, requiring thorough investigations and research. The Porter Law Group has the resources and expertise to identify potentially responsible parties and build a strong case on your behalf. Contact us to learn how we can assist you in navigating this challenging process.
Asbestos-related diseases have a uniquely long latency period, often taking decades for symptoms to manifest. New York's "discovery rule" for asbestos cases takes this into account. 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 the complexity of these timelines and the importance of timely action, 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 that your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe.
In asbestos exposure cases, you may be eligible for compensation for various damages, including:
1. Medical expenses: Past, current, and future medical costs related to your asbestos-induced illness.
2. Lost wages: Compensation for income lost due to your illness and inability to work.
3. Pain and suffering: Damages for physical pain and emotional distress caused by your condition.
4. Loss of consortium: Compensation for the impact on your relationship with your spouse or partner.
5. Punitive damages: In cases of extreme negligence, additional damages may be awarded to punish the responsible parties.
