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?

Utah has been the most aggressive state in the nation on social media regulation — passing SB 152 and HB 311 (2023) requiring age verification and restricting minors' access to social media. Utah AG Sean Reyes filed a standalone lawsuit against Meta. Salt Lake City families should evaluate claims.
