Extends the statute of limitations for toxic tort claims in New York to three years after discovery of the specific toxic cause.

New York S00727 amends the civil practice law to change the statute of limitations for toxic tort claims. It presumes the date of discovery of the injury to be the date of diagnosis. If the specific toxic cause of the injury is not known within ten years of the injury's discovery, a plaintiff has three years from the discovery of the specific cause to file a claim. This extends the previous five-year limit.
