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?

Montana's sparsely populated landscape and limited specialist infrastructure create challenges for Dupixent patients who develop CTCL. An estimated 8,500 Montanans have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, primarily through Billings Clinic, Providence St. Patrick Hospital (Missoula), and the scattered dermatology practices serving the state's 1.1 million residents. Montana lacks an NCI-designated cancer center, and patients requiring specialized cutaneous lymphoma evaluation are typically referred to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City or Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. Montana's 3-year SOL provides adequate filing time, and the state's discovery rule is well-established.

Montana has a single federal judicial district — the District of Montana, with courthouses in Billings, Great Falls, Helena, Butte, and Missoula. Montana follows a modified comparative fault system (51 percent bar) and does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Montana's rural population distribution means most litigation is centralized in the Billings or Missoula divisions.
