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?

New Mexico has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. New Mexico courts apply Daubert under N.M.R.A. 11-702. New Mexico Zantac claimants with qualifying cancer diagnoses should consult national plaintiffs' counsel about Delaware Superior Court filing options. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed after Judge Robin Rosenberg's 2022 Daubert ruling excluded plaintiffs' causation experts.
