Evid. 702. The 3-year SOL gives claimants with 2023+ cancer diagnoses additional time, but prompt consultation is still essential.

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?

Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, giving Zantac claimants additional time relative to most states. Arkansas courts apply a Daubert standard for expert testimony. 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.
