Extends the time frame for toxic exposure victims to commence an action until one year from discovery of the toxic cause or source of injury.
The Toxic Victim Justice Act amends the civil practice law to extend the time frame for victims of toxic exposure to commence an action for personal injury. The act allows victims to file a claim one year from the earlier of the date they discover the toxic cause or source of their injury, or the date they should have discovered it through reasonable diligence. This change aims to provide more time for victims to seek legal recourse after discovering the specific cause of their injury.
