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?
Massachusetts is the epicenter of America's biotech and pharmaceutical industry, with Sanofi maintaining significant research operations in Cambridge — home to the state's densest concentration of drug companies. An estimated 58,000 Massachusetts residents have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, with prescribing driven by the state's world-class academic medical centers including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Boston Medical Center. Dana-Farber's cutaneous lymphoma program is one of the nation's most respected, providing a critical diagnostic resource for Dupixent patients developing CTCL. Massachusetts's 3-year SOL and well-established discovery rule provide adequate filing time.
Massachusetts has a single federal judicial district — the District of Massachusetts, headquartered in Boston. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative fault system (51 percent bar) and does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Boston's federal court has extensive experience with complex pharmaceutical and medical device litigation, and the concentration of biotech and pharmaceutical companies in the state provides a knowledgeable jury pool.
