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?

Maryland has a 3-year statute of limitations for Allergan BIOCELL claims. Baltimore and the Washington DC metro area (Maryland suburbs) have active cosmetic surgery markets. Maryland plaintiffs benefit from proximity to both the D.N.J. MDL and Washington DC federal courts.

Maryland has a 3-year personal injury statute under Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101, applying from the date of discovery. Maryland plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Baltimore and the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC (Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, Rockville) have active plastic surgery markets that placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the 2005–2019 period. Maryland's 3-year window means BIA-ALCL diagnoses from 2023 onward are within the limitations period.
