New Hampshire Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuits
|
 A New Hampshire 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, New Hampshire law allows you to sue its manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

Deadlines for New Hampshire Actos Bladder Cancer LawsuitsNew Hampshire law sets deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations, and their length depends on the type of legal theory that applies to the case.
A New Hampshire Actos lawsuit is brought as a product liability claim because Actos's manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, provided an inadequate warning of the risk of bladder cancer and urethral cancer. People who have developed bladder cancer or urethral cancer after using Actos for a prolonged period of time may file a product liability lawsuit that alleges negligence, strict tort liability, and breach of warranty.
Under New Hampshire law, the statute of limitations for negligence and strict liability in tort is three years. By way of comparison, in most other states, the statute of limitations is only two years. A claim based on breach of warranty must be brought within four years from the date of the sale of the defective product, in this case Actos. New Hampshire courts apply the discovery rule to determine when the statute of limitations began to run
PLEASE NOTE: Exactly when the statute of limitations is triggered for a man's Actos claim under New Hampshire law will depend on the specific facts his case, including the medical records documenting his injuries.
