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.

Where would my case be heard?

Maine has a 6-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — one of the most favorable limitations periods in the country for Zantac claimants. Maine courts apply Daubert under M.R. Evid. 702. Maine's long SOL gives claimants with diagnoses as early as 2020 a viable filing window.
