01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Tennessee?

Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104) — the shortest SOL of any state in the Zantac claimant pool. This 1-year deadline runs from the date of discovery under the discovery rule. Tennessee's short limitations period applies to Tennessee Zantac claimants. 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?

Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — one of the shortest in the country and the most time-sensitive for Zantac claimants. Tennessee claimants with qualifying cancer diagnoses have a filing window that is significantly shorter than in other states. The 1-year SOL makes prompt attorney consultation essential for any Tennessee Zantac cancer claimant. Tennessee uses a modified Daubert standard.
