New Hampshire MRI Side Effect Lawsuits

New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire resident who believes he or she might have NSF/NFD.

New Hampshire NSF Lawsuits, New Hampshire MRI Lawsuits, New Hampshire Gadolinium Lawsuits

A New Hampshire gadolinium lawsuit, or NSF lawsuit, is brought against the manufacturer(s) of the gadolinium-based contrast agent that caused the New Hampshire resident to develop NSF.  It is a product liability claim because the gadolinium-based contrast agents that cause NSF are defective products.  New Hampshire residents suffering from NSF potentially may file a product liability lawsuit that alleges negligence, strict tort liability, and breach of warranty.

New Hampshire Statutes of Limitations for NSF Claims

The State of New Hampshire, like most other jurisdictions, places deadlines on when a person can file a lawsuit.  These deadlines are called statutes of limitations.  New Hampshire residents who have developed NSF are fortunate because the New Hampshire statutes of limitations that apply to their claims are a bit longer than those of other states.

Under New Hampshire law, the statute of limitations for negligence and strict liability in tort is three years.  By way of comparison, in most other states, the statute of limitations is only two years.  A claim based on breach of warranty must be brought within four years from the date of the sale of the defective product, in this case a gadolinium-based contrast agent.  New Hampshire courts apply the discovery rule to determine when the statute of limitations began to run.

PLEASE NOTE: When the statute of limitations begins to run for a specific person's claim for developing NSF varies depending on the unique facts of that person's case.  For this reason, if you believe you might have NSF, please contact DeCarli Law immediately.
