In the past few years, Zantac and the companies who produce and sell the drug have begun to face a number of challenges as evidence is mounting that a chemical in the drug called N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) can cause various types of cancer or other adverse health effects.

Zantac and similar products started receiving company recalls in 2019 and were taken off the shelves by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 1, 2020.

The links between the medication and cancer have led to Zantac lawsuits being filed by patients against drug manufacturers and distributors.

If you or a loved one previously used Zantac or similar products and were subsequently diagnosed with cancer, you may qualify to file a Zantac lawsuit.

When considering legal action, one of the most important questions people have is:

“How much money can I get from a Zantac lawsuit?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Financial compensation from a Zantac lawsuit is reliant upon a variety of factors and considerations that will be outlined below, but currently it is difficult to know what the average payout for a Zantac lawsuit is at this early stage.

The Lawsuit Information Center has detailed estimated payouts for Zantac lawsuits.

These estimates are in no way a guarantee of what should be expected for your lawsuit, but are an educated guess taking into consideration previous mass torts:

  • Tier One (plaintiffs with the most types of cancer, longest use history and documentation):  $300,000-$400,000
  • Tier Two:  $100,00-$175,000
  • Tier Three:  $40,000-$80,000

Zantac settlements or payouts would cover medical bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and potentially other monetary losses due to health effects suffered from Zantac use.

Depending on the legal route you and your attorney take, settlement amounts are determined differently.

Mass tort cases, as the Zantac lawsuits would fall under, are resolved through global settlements or inventory settlements.

Global settlements settle all claims against a defendant, usually a corporation, in one settlement.

The defendant will distribute a set amount of money determined by the court to all plaintiffs relative to their respective damages.

Inventory settlements entail a law firm speaking to each plaintiff they’re working for and agreeing on a minimum settlement amount they are hoping to receive for their damages.

The law firm then adds together their clients’ desired settlement amounts, called the aggregate minimum, and presents the information to the defense.

The defense will then offer an amount of money to cover all the law firm’s plaintiffs.

If you or a loved one previously used Zantac or similar products & were subsequently diagnosed with cancer, you may qualify to file a Zantac lawsuit.
