What is the deadline in Delaware?

Delaware imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (10 Del. C. § 8119). The discovery rule applies. Delaware applies the Daubert standard under D.R.E. 702, but Judge Medinilla in the Delaware Superior Court Zantac coordination has allowed plaintiffs' causation experts to proceed, distinguishing Delaware from the federal MDL's Daubert exclusion. A lawyer can confirm yours.

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?

Delaware is the single most important state for active Zantac litigation. The Delaware Superior Court under Judge Vivian Medinilla has consolidated thousands of Zantac cases and allowed plaintiffs' causation experts to proceed — directly unlike the dismissed federal MDL. Delaware claimants and out-of-state claimants filing in Delaware court have the most favorable active venue in the country. Delaware's 2-year SOL applies with the discovery rule.
