01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under M.G.L. ch. 260 § 2A. The discovery rule applies to toxic exposure cases. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Massachusetts also has strong consumer protection laws under Chapter 93A.
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.
