01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Oregon?

Oregon imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (ORS § 12.110), with Oregon's expansive discovery rule potentially extending the limitations period in latent pharmaceutical injury cases. Oregon courts apply a Daubert-based reliability standard for expert testimony. Oregon also has a 10-year statute of ultimate repose for product liability, providing a secondary backstop. A lawyer can confirm yours.

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?

Oregon has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims but uses a unique 'discovery rule' framework that may extend filing windows. Oregon courts apply Daubert under OEC 702. Oregon Zantac claimants with qualifying cancer diagnoses should consult counsel promptly about filing in Oregon or Delaware Superior Court. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed after Judge Robin Rosenberg's 2022 Daubert ruling excluded plaintiffs' causation experts.
