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?
Washington's tech-affluent population and robust healthcare infrastructure drive an estimated 62,000 Dupixent patients since 2017, heavily concentrated in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (formerly Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center), an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, provides world-class cutaneous lymphoma diagnostic and treatment capabilities and serves as the primary CTCL referral center for the Pacific Northwest. The University of Washington Medical Center adds additional specialty dermatology capacity. Washington's pure comparative fault system, absence of compensatory damage caps, and 3-year SOL create a plaintiff-favorable litigation environment.
Washington has two federal judicial districts: the Western District (Seattle/Tacoma) and Eastern District (Spokane/Yakima). The Western District handles the majority of pharmaceutical litigation. Washington follows a pure comparative fault system and does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Washington courts have been receptive to pharmaceutical claims and the state's progressive legal culture favors consumer protection.
