Where to File in Maryland
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.
