Do I have a case?

Over the past year, several drug safety organizations have warned that long-term use of the diabetes drug Actos can increase the risk of serious conditions like bladder cancer, heart attacks or liver damage. Unfortunately Actos has already been taken by tens of millions of people worldwide.

As is often the case with defective drugs, patients who took Actos were not properly warned about its dangers. Many of these people are now asking, “Do I have an Actos case?”

Here are some important questions to ask to find out if you qualify for a case:

1.  Did you or a loved one take the diabetes drug Actos?

2.  Did you take the drug in the United States under prescription?

3.  Was the use of the drug continuous for more than a year?

4.  Have you been diagnosed with bladder cancer or liver damage, or have you suffered a heart attack?

5.  Is your condition or injury related to the side effects of Actos?

If you answered yes to the first four “Do I have an Actos case?” questions, you may qualify for an Actos lawsuit. As for the issue of whether your condition is related to Actos, a qualified attorney can explain the research into the side effects of the drug, whether there is a link between the drug and your condition, and whether your case could be successful.

If you suspect your bladder cancer, heart attack or liver damage could be related to taking Actos, you should speak with an attorney as soon as possible. You may be entitled to a substantial recovery, however, time to file a claim is limited.

The U.S. FDA, French Medicines Agency, European Medicines Agency and American Heart Association have issued warnings that taking the diabetes drug Actos can contribute to bladder cancer, heart attacks and liver damage.

The warnings follow studies showing Actos could raise bladder cancer risks by as much as 40% and heart attack risks even more.

These conditions can be extremely debilitating or even fatal. They can also cause pain, suffering, the need for expensive and ongoing medical treatment as well as lost time from family and work.

There is legal help available for Actos side effects. An attorney can explain the research and warnings behind the drug, how the manufacturer may be responsible, and what compensation you may be entitled to from an Actos lawsuit.

Actos side effect cases can be very complex, time consuming and valuable, therefore they should only be handled by a very experienced attorney.  If you are wondering “do I have an Actos case?” make sure you speak with an attorney who has handled and won cases against large drug companies.

Every lawsuit has a different value and a Statute of Limitations, or expiration period on the amount of time you have to take action. A qualified attorney can answer these questions as well as how best to pursue your case and how long it may take to receive help.
