Zantac / Ranitidine (NDMA Cancer) Lawsuit in Alabama

Statute of Limitations

Alabama has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Ala. Code § 6-2-38) with the discovery rule. Alabama is a contributory negligence state, but pharmaceutical product liability claims proceed primarily on strict liability theories (defective product, failure to warn) where contributory negligence is not a complete bar. Alabama courts apply a Daubert standard. Delaware state court filing may be preferable as the primary venue.
