Actos Attorney Speaks at Litigation Conference

Actos attorney Michael Goetz of Morgan and Morgan recently spoke at a legal conference addressing the latest developments in Actos litigation, as well as recent research surrounding the diabetes medication’s link to bladder cancer. Presented by Mass Torts Made Perfect, the conference took place on Feb. 8 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia and attracted attorneys from around the country looking to broaden their knowledge in regard to Actos litigation. Actos attorney Michael Goetz was pleased to have participated in the seminar, and his team at Morgan and Morgan is still looking to hear from anyone who took Actos and was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Potentially, these individuals may be able to participate in an Actos lawsuit to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages.

Several lawsuits have already been filed by Actos attorneys alleging that their clients developed bladder cancer as a result of using the drug. These Actos lawsuits claim Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. withheld information about the Actos bladder cancer risk and failed to adequately warn patients and doctors. The FDA found in June 2011 that an analysis of a long-term, ongoing study, sponsored by Takeda, showed that some users of the diabetes medication faced an increased risk of bladder cancer. Actos bladder cancer lawsuits started to be filed shortly thereafter. 

If you or a loved one was diagnosed with bladder cancer after taking diabetes drugs Actos, Actoplus Met, Actoplus Met XR or Duetact, you may be able to file a claim for compensation. The Actos lawyers at Morgan and Morgan believe that pharmaceutical companies have a duty, at the very least, to warn patients about the potential side effects of their drugs and remain dedicated to protecting the rights of Actos users who developed bladder cancer.
