DeCarli Law and Wyoming MRI Side Effect Lawsuits
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), formerly known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD), 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 have been 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 Wyoming resident who believes he or she might have NSF/NFD.
Wyoming NSF Lawsuits
A Wyoming gadolinium lawsuit, or NSF lawsuit, is a product liability claim because the gadolinium-based contrast agents that cause NSF are defective products. A product liability claim brought under Wyoming law can be based on any or all of the following legal theories: negligence, breach of express or implied warranty, and strict liability.
Wyoming Statutes of Limitations for NSF Claims
The State of Wyoming, like most other jurisdictions, places deadlines on when a lawsuit can be filed. These deadlines are called statutes of limitations. Wyoming residents who have developed NSF have more time to file a claim than residents of other states because the statutes of limitations that apply to product liability claims are longer in Wyoming than they are in many other states.
For negligence and strict liability, the Wyoming statute of limitations is four years after the cause of action accrues. The statute of limitations begins to run "when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know the existence of the cause of action." In most other states, there is a two-year statute of limitations. Please note: when an individual person's right to bring a claim for developing NSF has accrued varies on the specific facts of each person's case.
