Deadlines for Illinois Actos Bladder Cancer LawsuitsIllinois law sets deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations, and depend on the type of claim that is being made.
An Illinois Actos bladder cancer lawsuit is a personal injury claim, and generally must be brought within two years of its accrual. The limitations period starts to run when the plaintiff knows, or reasonably should know, (1) that he has suffered an injury, and (2) that the injury was wrongfully caused.
Please note: exactly when a cause of action accrues under Illinois law, and therefore also the deadline for bringing a claim for having developed bladder cancer as an Actos side effect, varies based on the specific facts of each person's case.
