Do You Have a Zantac Claim?

Written by Malman Law, reviewed by Steve J. Malman.

If you or a member of your family took Zantac and subsequently received a cancer diagnosis, you could have a Zantac personal injury claim. Since information surrounding Zantac and cancer is developing rapidly, it is best to speak with a personal injury attorney to determine if you have a claim.

You may have recently heard on the news that the drug Zantac or its generic form known as ranitidine, can cause cancer and has been recalled by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Simply hearing of such a recall can cause anyone who took it or their loved ones to be alarmed. If you are one of these individuals, you might be wondering if you have a legal claim against the manufacturers of these medications. The best way to find out is to contact a personal injury who is well-versed in Zantac claims. 

Are you Eligible to file a Zantac Class Action Lawsuit or a Zantac Cancer Lawsuit?

There are two different types of claims involving the purchase and consumption of Zantac or ranitidine. Whether or not you have a claim will depend on if you fit into either of these categories. 

• Class Action Lawsuit: Consumers who bought Zantac can attempt to recover their financial losses from purchasing the drug. This is based upon allegations that the drug manufacturers failed to warn consumers of the risk of cancer when taking the drug. By concealing information and misleading consumers, these companies made enormous profits. A class-action lawsuit can be filed on account of anyone who purchased Zantac and has not developed cancer but still desires to hold Zantac’s makers accountable for their immense financial gains as a result of providing misleading information.
• A Personal Injury or Wrongful Death Lawsuit: If you or a family member developed certain types of cancers after taking Zantac, you could file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. By doing this, you could receive the maximum compensation for their losses and injuries. You could receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, and loss of consortium, among others.
