Maryland MRI Side Effect Lawsuits
Maryland residents who suffer from nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), formerly known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD), may be entitled to file an NSF lawsuit and recover for their injury. NSF is a progressive, debilitating disease characterized by hardening of the skin and other body tissues. NSF attacks people with impaired kidney or liver function, especially dialysis patients and recent kidney transplant recipients, who were injected with a gadolinium-based contrast agent for an MRI, MRA or other medical scan. The NSF lawyers at DeCarli Law will offer a free, no-obligation telephone consultation to any Maryland resident who believes he or she might have NSF/NFD.
Maryland NSF Lawsuits, Maryland MRI Lawsuits, Maryland Gadolinium Lawsuits
A Maryland gadolinium lawsuit, or NSF lawsuit, is brought against the manufacturer(s) of the gadolinium-based contrast agent that caused the Maryland resident to develop NSF. It is a product liability claim because the gadolinium-based contrast agents that cause NSF are defective products. Maryland product liability lawsuits usually include claims for negligence, breach of warranty, and strict liability.
Maryland Statutes of Limitations for NSF Claims
The State of Maryland, like most other jurisdictions, places deadlines on when a person can file a lawsuit. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations. Maryland residents who have developed NSF have a bit more time to file a claim than residents of other states.
Maryland has a three-year statute of limitations for all negligence actions and tort-based claims, including those founded in strict liability. In most other states, there is a two-year statute of limitations. Maryland also recognizes the "discovery rule." This means that the statute of limitations begins running once a plaintiff knows or should know he or she has been wronged.
PLEASE NOTE: When the statute of limitations begins to run for an individual person's right to bring a claim for developing NSF varies depending on the specific facts of each person's case. For this reason, if you believe you might have NSF, please contact DeCarli Law immediately.
