01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Alaska?

Alaska imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for tort claims (AS 09.10.070). The discovery rule applies — the limitations period begins when a claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the Zantac-NDMA-cancer link. Alaska courts apply a Daubert-style standard for expert testimony under Alaska R. A lawyer can confirm yours.

2 years from date of cancer diagnosis discovery (Daubert expert standard)

Evid. 702. Claimants with bladder, esophageal, stomach, or colorectal cancer diagnoses within the last two years should consult an attorney.

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?

Alaska has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims with the discovery rule. Alaska's small population limits the claimant pool, but qualifying cancer diagnoses linked to long-term Zantac/ranitidine use remain actionable. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed after Judge Robin Rosenberg's 2022 Daubert ruling excluded plaintiffs' causation experts. However, the Delaware Superior Court under Judge Vivian Medinilla has allowed cases to proceed, making Delaware state court the most active Zantac litigation venue in the country.
