Avandia and Legal Compensation

Statutes of Limitations Can Prevent Obtaining Legal Compensation For Avandia Side Effects Causing Personal Injury or Death

If you experienced serious side effects from the use of Avandia, or a person died due to an adverse reaction while taking Avandia, you may have a claim for legal compensation.

Legal compensation claims involving an Avandia-related disease or death caused by Avandia are usually made by filing an individual lawsuit as opposed to a class action.

Statutes of Limitations for Avandia Lawsuits

All states have statutes of limitations that determine the time period allowed to file an Avandia lawsuit. The applicable statute of limitation, or deadline to file claims, varies from state to state, and the personal injury statute of limitation deadline can be different from the wrongful death statute of limitation deadline within the same state. For example, in some states a personal injury claim must be filed within 3 years from the date the Avandia-related disease or drug interaction is diagnosed, while a wrongful death claim must be filed within 2 years from the date of a death if caused by Avandia. In some states, the statutes of limitations may be as short as 1 year from the date of diagnosis or death.

Because of these varying deadlines, you should not delay seeking a law firm to provide legal advice and legal representation if you have experienced an adverse side effect involving Avandia.
