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?

Delaware has a 2-year statute of limitations for Allergan BIOCELL claims. Delaware is home to Allergan's corporate parent AbbVie's registered agents, and Delaware courts are familiar with complex medical device litigation. Delaware plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in neighboring New Jersey.

Delaware plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Delaware has a 2-year personal injury statute under 10 Del. C. § 8119, applying from the date of discovery. Delaware's proximity to the D.N.J. MDL forum makes participation efficient for Delaware plaintiffs. Delaware Superior Court has significant experience with complex pharmaceutical litigation and could serve as an additional state court venue for Allergan claims if needed.
