Statute of Limitations
Louisiana has a 1-year prescriptive period (statute of limitations) for delictual personal injury actions (La. Civ. Code art. 3492) — one of the two shortest limitation periods in the Zantac claimant pool alongside Tennessee. The discovery doctrine (contra non valentem) tolls the period until the claimant discovers the injury and its cause. Louisiana courts apply a Daubert-based standard for expert testimony under La. C.E. art. 702. Louisiana's 1-year deadline makes it one of the most time-sensitive states for Zantac cancer claimants — any delay risks permanent loss of claims.
