Did Schenectady PCB Exposure Lead to Your Health Problems? You Need an Attorney.

If you were exposed to PCB's at the Schenectady, New York GE plant and are now experiencing health problems, you could be entitled to compensation.

Many workers at the Nott Street plant, the Schenectady plant and the Main plant worked without protective clothing and are now suffering from various illnesses, including cancer according to a May, 2006 Reuters article.

Our attorneys can provide more information and help if you're a GE worker now suffering from health problems.

GE has used the plants to manufacture a variety of products including electric motors and generators, gas turbines, wire and cable, insulating materials, and microwave tubes. Unfortunately, high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been found in various areas of the manufacturing plants and in the former on-site landfills. Many of the workers exposed to PCBs were making chemicals for Monsanto Co.

Side effects of PCB exposure include health problems related to a person's immune system, reproductive system, nervous system, endocrine system and other health effects.

If you or someone you know is suffering from a PCB-related illness, our lawyers can help. Weitz & Luxenberg has a long history of success fighting on behalf of workers and victims in similar situations. Fill out the form on this page to find out if you have a case.
