Liability Considerations in Louisville
Zantac Litigation in Louisville — URGENT: 1-Year SOL
Louisville-area Zantac claimants face Kentucky's 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — one of the shortest in the country. ANY Louisville resident diagnosed with bladder, esophageal, stomach, or colorectal cancer who used Zantac/ranitidine for an extended period must consult a Zantac plaintiffs' attorney within weeks of diagnosis. Kentucky applies Daubert under KRE 702. National plaintiffs' counsel recommend Delaware Superior Court as the primary filing venue. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed in 2022 after Judge Robin Rosenberg excluded plaintiffs' causation experts under Daubert. However, the Delaware Superior Court under Judge Vivian Medinilla continues to actively hear Zantac cases and has allowed causation experts to proceed. Defendants Sanofi, Boehringer Ingelheim, GSK, and Pfizer are all actively litigating in Delaware. For most claimants, filing in Delaware Superior Court through national plaintiffs' counsel is now the primary path forward.
Immediate Resources for Louisville Zantac Claimants
Louisville-area Zantac claimants must immediately gather pharmacy records from Kroger Pharmacy, Walgreens, CVS, and employer pharmacy benefit programs (including Humana-covered plans). UofL Brown Cancer Center and Norton Cancer Institute records documenting diagnosis, staging, and treatment are critical. Do not wait — Kentucky's 1-year SOL means delay costs you your claim.
