Zantac / Ranitidine (NDMA Cancer) Lawsuit in Maryland

Statute of Limitations

Maryland has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 5-101) with the discovery rule. Maryland applies contributory negligence in tort cases, but pharmaceutical strict product liability claims do not typically involve claimant fault as a complete bar. Maryland courts apply a version of the Frye-Reed standard for novel scientific evidence — similar to the general acceptance test used in Delaware — potentially more favorable than Daubert for Zantac causation experts.
