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 has limited commercial EtO sterilization operations, but hospital sterilization units and potential cross-border exposure from Massachusetts facilities may affect Maine residents. Maine's 6-year SOL is among the most favorable in the nation.
