Massachusetts Propecia Lawsuit
|
For a Massachusetts Propecia Lawsuit, Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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, impotence, or loss of libido, should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

Statute of Limitations for Propecia Lawsuits in MassachusettsA Massachusetts lawsuit for Propecia side effects is brought against Propecia's manufacturer. This is a product liability claim because, having caused a side effect for which there was no adequate warning, Propecia is a defective product. The causes of action most frequently asserted in Massachusetts product liability lawsuits are negligence, breach of the implied warranty of merchantability, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices that violate Chapter 93A of the Massachusetts General Laws.
Under Massachusetts law, the statute of limitations for a negligence action and "tort-based" warranty actions is three years from the date the cause of action "accrues." A cause of action "accrues" on the occurrence of some appreciable injury. However, when an injury is latent or "inherently unknowable," the discovery rule applies and the action does not accrue until a person knows or reasonably should have known that he or she has been injured. For Chapter 93A unfair or deceptive acts or practices claims, the statute of limitations is four years.
PLEASE NOTE: When the Massachusetts statutes of limitations begin to run for an individual man's right to bring a claim for Propecia side effects varies depending on the unique facts of that man's case.
