What is the deadline in Tennessee?

Tennessee: 1 year for personal injury (Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104). Discovery rule applies for latent injuries — the limitations period begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the injury and its connection to the product. Tennessee's SOL is short. 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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Tennessee is home to one of the earliest named Dupixent CTCL lawsuits — Richardson v. Sanofi, filed in October 2025 in the Western District of Tennessee (Memphis). The state has a growing pharmaceutical litigation docket, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville provides specialized cutaneous lymphoma diagnostic capabilities. Tennessee's moderate SOL and absence of damage caps in product liability make it a viable filing venue.

Dupixent CTCL cases in Tennessee are filed in the Western District (Memphis), Middle District (Nashville), or Eastern District (Knoxville/Chattanooga). The Richardson v. Sanofi filing in October 2025 in the Western District was among the first named Dupixent CTCL cases nationally. Tennessee does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. The state follows a modified comparative fault system (Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-11-103) where plaintiff recovery is barred only if the plaintiff is 50% or more at fault. Tennessee's 1-year SOL is the shortest in the country — claimants should consult an attorney after CTCL diagnosis.
