Oregon Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuits
|
 An Oregon Actos bladder cancer lawsuit is a legal remedy for a person who has developed bladder cancer after using Actos. 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, Oregon law allows you to sue its manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

Deadlines for Oregon Actos Bladder Cancer LawsuitsOregon, like other states, sets deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations. An Oregon Actos lawsuit is considered a product liability claim, and as such, must be filed no later than two years from the date the injury or damage is first discovered or should have been discovered, whichever comes first.
Please note: exactly when a cause of action accrues under Oregon 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.
