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.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Arkansas is the site of the Baxter International EtO sterilization facility in Mountain Home, where EPA data showed cancer risk at 3x the acceptable threshold. A 2021 settlement resolved some claims, but post-settlement diagnoses remain viable under the discovery rule.
