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's proximity to Washington, D.C. and its concentration of research institutions make it a significant state for Dupixent prescribing and litigation. An estimated 48,000 Maryland residents have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, with heavy prescribing through Johns Hopkins Medicine, the University of Maryland Medical System, and the extensive specialty care networks in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, provides world-class cutaneous lymphoma diagnostic and treatment expertise. Maryland's contributory negligence rule is a defense advantage in negligence claims but is less relevant when cases are brought under strict liability.
Maryland has one federal judicial district — the District of Maryland, with courthouses in Baltimore and Greenbelt. Maryland follows a contributory negligence system — one of the few remaining states where any plaintiff fault bars recovery in negligence claims — though this is less relevant in strict liability product claims. Maryland does not cap non-economic damages in most product liability cases (the cap applies only to personal injury claims, not wrongful death).
