Zantac / Ranitidine (NDMA Cancer) Lawsuit in Massachusetts

Statute of Limitations

Massachusetts has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Mass. Gen. Laws c. 260, § 2A) with the discovery rule applicable. Massachusetts courts apply the Daubert standard for expert testimony (Commonwealth v. Lanigan). The 3-year SOL is more favorable than 2-year states, giving Massachusetts Zantac claimants more time for diagnoses from 2021 onward. Massachusetts' sophisticated legal community and major pharmaceutical industry presence make it a capable Zantac litigation venue.
