New York Court of Appeals

Gaylord Whitney, Appellants v. Quaker Chemical Corporation, Respondent, Defendants

June 27, 199790 N.Y.2d 845

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding the plaintiff's claim untimely because the three‑year limitations period for latent toxic exposure began when he discovered his injury in 1989, not when he later learned of a non‑biological cause.
