What is the deadline in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Wis. Stat. § 893.54) with the discovery rule applicable. Wisconsin courts apply the Daubert standard for expert testimony. Wisconsin's 3-year SOL is more favorable than 2-year states, benefiting claimants diagnosed with Zantac-linked cancer from 2021 onward. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Wisconsin claimants should evaluate Delaware as a primary filing venue for more favorable coordination and Frye expert standard.

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?

Wisconsin has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims — favorable for Zantac claimants. Wisconsin courts apply a Daubert standard for expert testimony under Wis. Stat. § 907.02. The 3-year SOL gives Wisconsin claimants additional filing time compared to 2-year states. Wisconsin's older industrial and farming population has elevated bladder and colorectal cancer rates consistent with Zantac-linked cancer types.
