What is the deadline in Michigan?

Michigan: 3 years for product liability (Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)). Michigan has no general discovery rule: a claim accrues when the wrong is done, regardless of when damage results, unless a statute provides otherwise (MCL 600.5827; Trentadue v. Buckler Automatic Lawn Sprinkler Co., 479 Mich. 378 (2007)). A lawyer can confirm yours.

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.

Where would my case be heard?

Michigan's large population of 10 million and extensive healthcare infrastructure create a substantial Dupixent litigation footprint. An estimated 78,000 Michigan residents have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, with heavy prescribing through the University of Michigan Health System, Henry Ford Health System, Beaumont (Corewell Health), and Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids. The University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, provides specialized cutaneous lymphoma expertise in Ann Arbor. Michigan's product liability SOL is 3 years; Michigan has no general discovery rule (MCL 600.5827).

Michigan has two federal judicial districts: the Eastern District (Detroit/Ann Arbor/Flint) and Western District (Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo). The Eastern District handles the majority of pharmaceutical litigation. Michigan follows a comparative fault system in which a plaintiff more than 50% at fault cannot recover noneconomic damages (MCL 600.2959) and caps non-economic damages in product liability actions (MCL 600.2946a). Michigan's medical malpractice-specific caps do not apply to pharmaceutical product liability.
