Can I File an Actos Lawsuit if I Have Been Diagnosed with Bladder Cancer
Posted By National Drug Recall Injury Lawyer on Jan 23, 2012 7:44pm PST
Actos is a drug that has been used to regulate sugar levels in the blood system for over 13 years throughout the United States. When it was first approved by the FDA in 1999, the drug came into wide usage for folks suffering from Type II diabetes. Actos came along with the traditional set of side effects, including nasea, dry skin, dry eyes, and other minor effects. However, our Actos injury lawyers are now filing lawsuits on behalf of persons who have developed
bladder cancer as a result of taking Actos. If you are taking this medication and are experiencing painful urination, blood in urination, and other serious side effects, it is critical that you address these issues with your treating physician.
If you have developed bladder cancer, a drug recall attorney can investigate your medical records and determine whether you have sufficient evidence to file a lawsuit for product liability or product defect. Product liability claims are based on allegations that a drug manufacturer knew, or should have known, that a particular prescription medication causes a particular type of injury. In the case of Actos, that is believed to be bladder cancer.
In the event you have an Actos claim, you may be entitled to compensation which includes damages for economic and non-economic damages. In claiming damages, it is important to determine all of the ways in which a particular product, and resulting injury or trauma, has caused you harm. There are certain statute of limitations in place that determine how long a victim has to file an Actos compensation claim. Those time limitations vary by state, so it is important to consult with an attorney to address the particular time left in your case in which you are permitted to file a lawsuit.
