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?

Wyoming has a 4-year SOL — longer than most states. Wyoming's extremely rural character and limited youth mental health infrastructure amplify social media's impact on children. Cheyenne and Casper families should evaluate claims through MDL 3047.
