Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

Where would my case be heard?
Alaska's remote geography and small population create unique challenges for Dupixent patients who develop CTCL. The state has no NCI-designated cancer center and limited dermatopathology resources, meaning Dupixent patients who develop suspicious skin lesions often face diagnostic delays while awaiting referral to specialists in Seattle or Anchorage. An estimated 5,500 Alaskans have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, primarily through dermatology and allergy practices in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. Alaska's 2-year product liability statute of limitations provides adequate filing time, and the discovery rule is well-established in the state.
Alaska has a single federal judicial district — the District of Alaska, headquartered in Anchorage. All federal Dupixent claims from Alaska are filed in this court. Alaska's small population and limited plaintiff bar mean most pharmaceutical cases are handled by out-of-state counsel admitted pro hac vice. Alaska does not cap non-economic damages in product liability cases following the 2005 Evans v. State decision.
