Worked at a Company for 47 years in 2010 was moved to a old part of the building was there for almost 2 years and started with a chronic cough saw a pulmonologist in 2012 for the cough and continue to see her. In 2013 I received a letter stating the building was safe with no contaminants. Recently a letter was sent to employees stating that the building did have a mold problem. (I have copies of both letters. I retired in 2017.
Probably not. Statute of Limitations in New York for personal injury cases is generally three (3) years from the date the cause of action accrued. Although New York also has a "date of discovery" rule for exposure cases, such cases must be commenced from the date of discovery of the injury or from the date when the injury should have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable diligence, whichever is earlier. Although you received a letter stating that the building was safe with no contaminants, you were arguably put on notice as far back as 2012 / 2013 that you had been exposed to mold (which started the proverbial clock). Moreover, New York's courts have been pretty hostile towards mold cases with the State's highest court dismissing a mold case several years ago.
