Washington Propecia Lawsuit
|
For a Washington Propecia Lawsuit, Washington law establishes a limited amount of time for when a claim can be filed. This period of time is called a "statute of limitations." Because Washington law creates a deadline for filing a claim, a man who believes he may be suffering from
Propecia side effects such as permanent erectile dysfunction (ED), impotence, or loss of libido, should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

Statute of Limitations for Propecia Lawsuits in WashingtonIn 1981, the Washington legislature passed the Washington Product Liability Act (WPLA). The WPLA creates a single product liability action, called a "product liability claim." This claim consolidates common law theories that were previously used to bring product liability actions, including negligence, strict liability in tort, and breach of warranty. This encompasses the theories for holding the manufacturers of Propecia liable for men who suffer from
Propecia side effects.
Under the WPLA, the statute of limitations for a Washington product liability claim is three years from the time the claimant discovers "the harm and its cause." The three-year period begins running when a person "discovered, or . . . should have discovered, a factual causal relationship of the product to the harm." This three-year period is a bit longer than the statutes of limitations that apply to Propecia claims in other states, many of which are only two years.

PLEASE NOTE: Exactly when the statute of limitations is triggered for a man's Propecia claim under Washington law will depend on the specific facts his case, including the medical records documenting his injuries.
