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?

Maine's 6-year statute of limitations for personal injury — the longest in the nation — provides Dupixent CTCL patients with extraordinary filing flexibility. While most states impose 2- to 3-year deadlines, Maine patients have up to 6 years from discovery of their injury to file suit. An estimated 11,000 Maine residents have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, primarily through MaineHealth, Northern Light Health, and specialty practices in the Portland and Bangor areas. Maine lacks an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, but the MaineHealth Cancer Care Network and partnerships with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston provide CTCL diagnostic pathways.

Maine has a single federal judicial district — the District of Maine, headquartered in Portland and Bangor. Maine follows a modified comparative fault system and does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Maine's 6-year SOL is the longest in the nation for personal injury, providing substantial filing time for CTCL patients.
