Deadlines for Ohio Actos Bladder Cancer LawsuitsOhio, like other states, sets deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations.
An Ohio Actos bladder cancer lawsuit is subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Also, a legal doctrine called the discovery rule applies because the claim is for an injury caused by a drug. The two-year statute of limitations begins to run when the plaintiff is informed by competent medical authority, or when he should have known, that the injury s related to the drug, in this case Actos.
Please note: exactly when a cause of action accrues under Ohio 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, in particular the contents of their medical records.
