Key Takeaway

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 3-year product liability SOL provides adequate filing time, and the discovery rule is well-established. The Eastern District of Michigan in Detroit has managed complex litigation, and Michigan's diverse jury pools — particularly in Wayne County (Detroit) and Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor) — have been receptive to pharmaceutical plaintiff cases. Michigan's auto industry heritage means jurors understand corporate decision-making and cost-benefit analysis, which may help plaintiffs demonstrate Sanofi's failure to act on safety signals.

Statute of Limitations

Michigan: 3 years for product liability (Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5805(2)). Discovery rule applies — the limitations period begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the injury and its cause.

Filing Venue

Where to File in Michigan

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 modified comparative fault system (51 percent bar) and caps non-economic damages in some personal injury cases, though product liability claims may be subject to different analysis. Michigan's medical malpractice-specific caps do not apply to pharmaceutical product liability.
