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?
Arkansas ranks among the highest states nationally for atopic dermatitis prevalence relative to population, driven by the state's humid subtropical climate and high rates of allergic sensitization. An estimated 22,000 Arkansans have received Dupixent prescriptions since 2017, primarily through dermatology practices in Little Rock, Northwest Arkansas, and the UAMS Medical Center network. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) provides the state's most advanced dermatopathology services and cancer diagnostic capabilities. Arkansas's 3-year statute of limitations for product liability — one year longer than in neighboring Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana — gives CTCL patients additional time to secure diagnosis and file claims.
Arkansas has two federal judicial districts: the Eastern District (Little Rock) and the Western District (Fort Smith/Fayetteville). The Eastern District handles most pharmaceutical litigation. Arkansas follows a modified comparative fault system where plaintiff recovery is barred if fault exceeds 50 percent. There are no statutory caps on compensatory damages in product liability cases, though punitive damages face certain limitations.
