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?

Arizona is a Tier 2 priority market for Allergan BIOCELL claims due to the Phoenix and Scottsdale cosmetic surgery market — one of the highest per-capita cosmetic procedure volumes in the Mountain West. Arizona has a 2-year statute of limitations from discovery.

Arizona plaintiffs with Allergan BIOCELL claims file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Arizona state court filings in Maricopa County Superior Court are available for claims outside federal court. Arizona applies the discovery rule to its 2-year personal injury statute (A.R.S. § 12-542). Phoenix and Scottsdale rank among the highest per-capita cosmetic surgery markets in the Mountain West — a significant population of women in the Phoenix metro area received Natrelle 410 implants from plastic surgeons operating in the Scottsdale corridor during the 2005–2019 BIOCELL era. BIA-ALCL diagnoses in Arizona from 2024 onward are securely within the limitations window.
