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?

Kentucky has a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — among the shortest in the nation. Kentucky courts apply Daubert under KRE 702. 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.
