Statute of Limitations
Maine: 6 years from discovery (14 M.R.S. § 752) — one of the longest statutes nationally
6 years from BIA-ALCL diagnosis or discovery of BIOCELL connection
Filing Venue
Where to File in Maine
Maine has a 6-year personal injury statute of limitations under 14 M.R.S. § 752 — one of the longest in the country, providing substantial protection for Maine BIOCELL claimants. Maine plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Portland and Bangor plastic surgery markets placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the recall era. Maine's long limitations period means even claimants with diagnoses from 2020 onward may have viable claims within the 6-year window.
