An asbestos-containing powerhouse building associated with former refinery operations was demolished and removed under EPA oversight between 1991-1995.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once a location is designated as a Superfund site, the EPA begins to clean it up and forces the parties responsible for the contamination to participate in the cleanup or reimburse the government.<\/p>\n<div class=\"list-show-more no-height-desktop show-mobile-only\">\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-building\">Other Asbestos Exposure Sites in New York<\/h3>\n<p>Superfund sites are far from the only places where New Yorkers could have been exposed to asbestos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples of other high-risk asbestos sites in New York include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"columns-2\">\n<li>Albany Felt Company<\/li>\n<li>American Locomotive Plant, Schenectady<\/li>\n<li>Bendix Corporation (Honeywell), Troy<\/li>\n<li>Bethlehem Steel Shipyard, Staten Island<\/li>\n<li>Brooklyn Naval Shipyard<\/li>\n<li>Brooklyn Union Gas Company<\/li>\n<li>Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co., Utica<\/li>\n<li class=\"show-more-marker\">Dunlop Tire &amp; Rubber, Buffalo<\/li>\n<li>General Motors, Buffalo<\/li>\n<li>General Electric, Schenectady<\/li>\n<li>Garlock Sealing Technologies, Olea<\/li>\n<li>Long Island Railroad\/Penn Station, New York City<\/li>\n<li>Star Textile, Albany<\/li>\n<li>Torrington Industries, Massena<\/li>\n<li>Union Carbide Company, Niagara Falls<\/li>\n<li>Western Electric, New York City<\/li>\n<li>World Trade Center, New York City<\/li>\n<li>Zonolite Company (W.R.

Surviving family members may also be able to file a claim on behalf of a mesothelioma victim.<\/p>\n<p>A New York mesothelioma lawyer can explain how the state\u2019s laws and regulations impact someone\u2019s eligibility for different types of asbestos claims.<\/p>\n<h2>New York Asbestos Laws and Regulations<\/h2>\n<p>Just like other states, New York subscribes to the EPA\u2019s National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).<\/p>\n<p>The state has also instituted its own state laws and regulations on the safe handling and removal of asbestos-containing materials in the New York Codes, Rules, and Regulations (NYCRR).<\/p>\n<p><strong>New York asbestos laws include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>6 NYCRR Part 360:<\/strong> Regulations including definitions of asbestos waste, transfer stations, and land disposal issues<\/li>\n<li><strong>6 NYCRR Part 364:<\/strong> Regulations including waste transportation, transport permits, and asbestos transportation tracking<\/li>\n<li><strong>10 NYCRR Part 73:<\/strong> Regulations for the training of workers in the asbestos abatement industry and regulations concerning asbestos safety training providers<\/li>\n<li><strong>12 NYCRR Part 56:<\/strong> Regulations relating to the hazards to public safety and health during the removal, encapsulation, enclosure, repair, or the disturbance of any asbestos material that may result in the release of asbestos fiber<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-balance\">Statutes of Limitations in New York<\/h3>\n<p>Each state has specific laws regarding how long someone has to file a claim after receiving a mesothelioma diagnosis. These laws are called <a href=\"\/legal\/statute-of-limitations\/\">statutes of limitations<\/a> (SOLs), and they typically range from 2-3 years depending on the state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once an SOL has passed, you can no longer file a lawsuit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In New York, patients typically have <strong>3 years<\/strong> after a diagnosis to file a personal injury lawsuit, and families have <strong>2 years<\/strong> after a loved one&#8217;s passing to file a wrongful death claim.<\/p>\n<p>Because these laws can be difficult to navigate, victims often turn to an experienced mesothelioma lawyer for help. A New York mesothelioma lawyer can explain how statutes of limitations will affect your case and whether you should file a claim in New York or another state.<\/p>\n<p>Even if statutes of limitations prevent you from filing a lawsuit, you may still be able to access compensation from an asbestos trust fund.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-icon icon-compensation\">Asbestos Trust Funds in New York<\/h3>\n<p>Bankrupt manufacturers of asbestos-based products were forced to set aside money in <a href=\"\/legal\/asbestos-trust-funds\/\">asbestos trust funds<\/a> to pay out future asbestos claims. Asbestos trusts aren\u2019t subject to regular statutes of limitations. Instead, they have their own deadlines to file claims.<\/p>\n<p>Today, <strong>more than $30 billion is available<\/strong> in asbestos trust funds for mesothelioma victims. An experienced New York mesothelioma lawyer can determine which trusts you qualify to access.<\/p>\n<div data-vqueid=\"18460\" class=\"widget widget_oscar-vque default image-right has-img\"><style type=\"text\/css\" data-style=\"default\">.widget_oscar-vque.default{margin:60px auto;max-width:315px}.widget_oscar-vque.default:first-child{margin-top:0}.widget_oscar-vque.default:last-child{margin-bottom:0}.widget_oscar-vque.default>a{background:#2F293D;display:block;padding:20px;border-radius:10px;color:#fff;text-decoration:none}.widget_oscar-vque.default img{margin:0 auto 20px;max-width:150px;width:100%}.widget_oscar-vque.default .vque-content{font-size:16px;text-align:center}.widget_oscar-vque.default strong.subheading{display:block;line-height:1;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:5px}.widget_oscar-vque.default strong.heading{font-size:20px;display:block;margin:0 0 25px}.widget_oscar-vque.default ul{font-size:16px;text-align:left;list-style:none;max-width:265px;line-height:1.4;margin:15px auto 25px}.widget_oscar-vque.default ul li{padding-left:28px;margin-bottom:10px}.widget_oscar-vque.default ul li:last-child{margin-bottom:0}.widget_oscar-vque.default ul li:before{font-family:\"mesohope\" !important;font-display:swap;speak:none;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-transform:none;line-height:1;-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;-moz-osx-font-smoothing:grayscale;content:\"\\e904\";border:none;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;background:#0FAEBF;width:20px;height:20px;border-radius:20px;line-height:20px;text-align:center;font-size:12px}.widget_oscar-vque.default strong.button.arrow{width:100%}@media screen and (min-width: 768px){.widget_oscar-vque.default{max-width:620px}.widget_oscar-vque.default>a{padding:0}.widget_oscar-vque.default>a>div{display:block;display:flex;align-items:center;flex-wrap:wrap;flex-direction:row-reverse}.widget_oscar-vque.default>a>div>div{padding:0 25px 0 0;width:41%}.widget_oscar-vque.default>a .vque-content{width:59%;padding:30px;text-align:left}.widget_oscar-vque.default img{max-width:90%;margin-bottom:0}.widget_oscar-vque.default strong.subheading{font-size:16px}.widget_oscar-vque.default strong.heading{font-size:24px;margin:0 0 16px}.widget_oscar-vque.default ul{max-width:none}.widget_oscar-vque.default strong.button.arrow{width:auto}.widget_oscar-vque.default.image-left>a>div{display:block;position:relative;overflow:hidden}.widget_oscar-vque.default.image-left>a>div img{max-width:100%}.widget_oscar-vque.default.image-left>a>div>div{float:left}.widget_oscar-vque.default.image-left>a>div>div:first-child{width:27%;padding:30px}.widget_oscar-vque.default.image-left>a>div>div.vque-content{width:73%;padding-left:0}}<\/style><a href=\"\/access-asbestos-trust-funds\/\" title=\"Access Asbestos<br\/>Trust Funds\" class=\"cte\" data-ce-category=\"In-Content Ads\" data-ce-label=\"Access Asbestos<br\/>Trust Funds Ad\"  data-mobile-image=\"https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/trust-fund-couple.png\"data-desktop-image=\"https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/trust-fund-image.png\"><div><div><div class=\"image-fade\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"414\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/trust-fund-image.png\" class=\"no-lazyload wp-post-image\" alt=\"A lawyer shares documents with a client\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/trust-fund-image.png 414w, https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/trust-fund-image-294x300.png 294w, https:\/\/www.mesotheliomahope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/trust-fund-image-55x55.png 55w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vque-content\"><strong class=\"heading\">Access Asbestos<br\/>Trust Funds<\/strong><ul>\n<li>More than $30 billion available<\/li>\n<li>$300K-$400K average compensation<\/li>\n<li>Get money in 90 days or less<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong class=\"button arrow\" title=\"Check If You Qualify\">Check If You Qualify<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"settlements\">New York Mesothelioma Settlements and Verdicts<\/h2>\n<p>To avoid a long public legal battle in court before a judge and jury, companies responsible for a victim\u2019s asbestos exposure typically try to reach a <a href=\"\/legal\/settlements\/\">mesothelioma settlement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A settlement is an agreement between a New York asbestos lawyer representing the victim (plaintiff) and the legal team(s) representing the manufacturers being sued.
