What is the deadline in Kansas?

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?

Kansas's proximity to the Kansas City metropolitan area — straddling the Kansas-Missouri border — gives Kansas Dupixent patients access to the University of Kansas Cancer Center, the only NCI-designated cancer center in the region. An estimated 22,000 Kansans have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, with prescribing concentrated in the Kansas City metro and Wichita areas. Kansas's product liability framework includes a 10-year statute of repose that could affect claims from early Dupixent adopters. The District of Kansas in Kansas City and Wichita handles moderate pharmaceutical litigation volume, and Kansas's generally conservative jury pools may be less favorable to plaintiffs than coastal venues, though the evidence of a drug causing cancer in eczema patients tends to transcend political orientation in jury deliberations.

Kansas has a single federal judicial district — the District of Kansas, headquartered in Kansas City (Kansas side) and Wichita. Kansas follows a modified comparative fault system (50 percent bar). Kansas applies the Product Liability Act (Kan. Stat. Ann. § 60-3301 et seq.), under which harm caused more than 10 years after delivery is presumed to fall after the product's useful safe life, a presumption the claimant can rebut by clear and convincing evidence (K.S.A. 60-3303(b)).
