3 years from date of cancer diagnosis discovery (Daubert expert standard)

Vermont's 3-year SOL provides a more favorable filing window than most states, and the state's discovery rule may further extend timelines for latent cancer diagnoses.

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?

Vermont has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Vermont courts apply Daubert under V.R.E. 702. Vermont Zantac claimants benefit from a 3-year SOL that is more favorable than most states, giving claimants with 2023 or later diagnoses active filing windows. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed after Judge Robin Rosenberg's 2022 Daubert ruling excluded plaintiffs' causation experts.
