Wade, Clark & Mulcahy, Attorneys At Law

WCM Victorious in Appellate Division, Third Department
Senior Partner Paul F. Clark won a significant victory in the Appellate Division, Third Department, which sits in Albany, New York. In Harris v. Glen Falls Hospital, the plaintiff, a Board Certified Anesthesiologist, claims that she was exposed to high levels of latex during a remediation project at the Glens Falls Hospital. She never returned to work as a physician. After extensive discovery was conducted focusing on plaintiff’s theory of liability that her exposure to latex caused her ailments, the defense announced its intention of filing a motion for summary judgment on the issues of negligence and the causal connection between her alleged latex exposure and present disability. In response, plaintiff moved to amend her pleadings to expand the list of contaminants beyond latex to include numerous other substances including “dust mites, silica dust, asbestos, mildew, mold allergens and mineral fibers.” Plaintiff supported her application with affidavits from several experts addressing questions of liability, causation and damages.

The trial court agreed with our argument that plaintiff’s application was late and would cause undue prejudice because virtually all discovery would have to be redone, rendering years of work meaningless. In addition, plaintiff provided no reasonable explanation for the lengthy delay in seeking to amend her pleadings. On appeal, the Third Department agreed and unanimously affirmed the trial court. We now proceed with plaintiff’s theory of liability confined to her original allegations in this complex, toxic tort action.
