  California Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuit
A California Actos bladder cancer lawsuit allows a person who has developed bladder cancer after using Actos to seek justice. Bladder cancer is a side effect of Actos, and if it can be shown that you developed bladder cancer as a result of using Actos, California law allows you to sue the manufacturer of the drug, which in this case is Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

Deadlines for California Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuits

California law sets deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations. The statute of limitations for product liability claims in California is relatively short: two years. This means a California Actos lawsuit must be filed within two years after the cause of action "accrues." However, California also recognizes the "discovery rule." This means a cause of action accrues when a plaintiff has knowledge of the injury, and knowledge of facts creating, or which in a reasonable person would create, a suspicion of wrongdoing on the part of someone, even if the plaintiff is unable to identify the wrongdoer.

Please note: exactly when a cause of action accrues under California law, and therefore the deadline for filing an Actos lawsuit, varies based on the specific facts of each person's case.
