New York S07474 establishes a cause of action for medical monitoring for individuals exposed to toxic substances.

New York S07474 amends the environmental conservation law and the civil practice law to establish a cause of action for medical monitoring. This allows individuals, whether or not they currently have an injury or disease, to seek damages for medical monitoring if they were exposed to a toxic substance. The bill defines "medical monitoring" as a program of medical surveillance, including tests or procedures for early detection of latent diseases. It also sets a statute of limitation for such cause of action.
