Magnetic resonance imaging – more commonly called an MRI – is used in all sorts of medical practices and procedures as an accurate way to quickly diagnose internal injuries and some diseases. For years, MRIs were thought to be safe, but new evidence is suggesting differently when gadolinium contrast agents are used. Many patients who have been diagnosed with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) have also undergone repeated gadolinium MRIs, establishing a link between gadolinium and the potentially-fatal disease.
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with NSF and suspect gadolinium MRIs might be the root cause? You could have the option to create a lawsuit as part of a mass tort against your medical provider and related healthcare partners. Thousands of patients all around the country are considering their legal options, and so should you.
Gadolinium is a heavy metallic element with usefulness in specialized circumstances, such as enhanced contrast for MRIs. Doctors inject a gadolinium compound near the targeted bodily area. The compound, or contrast media, helps create better clarity in the resulting MRI, making it simpler to detect tumors, bone breaks, etc.
Commonly side effects of gadolinium compound injections are:
However, repeated gadolinium use may trigger nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in some patients. It might also occur after only one use if the patient is sensitive to gadolinium, or if they have weakened kidneys.
Dangerous side effects of gadolinium contrast media use in patients include:
In December of 2017, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented new regulations on gadolinium injections and compounds. The agency noted a specific likeliness between gadolinium MRI and occurrences of the otherwise-rare disease of NSF. All healthcare professionals must be warned by gadolinium contrast media manufacturers of the potential dangers, and those medical providers must pass the warning along to their clients.
With the FDA warning and the dangers of gadolinium use known, the door to gadolinium MRI lawsuits has officially been opened. In fact, there have already been multiple gadolinium lawsuits, claims, and mass torts against major pharmaceutical companies. In 2013, a single plaintiff was awarded $5 million by a jury verdict in a case brought against GE Healthcare for the negligent use of gadolinium and the lack of warning given to patients.

I was hit on my MOTORCYCLE by a PODS TRUCK in June, yep, you read that right, PODS TRUCK. I was fortunate to walk away, but knew I needed a lawyer for an accident of this magnitude. Now, let me start by saying I don’t trust lawyers, never have. But had to put my differences aside and trust this GROUP of LAWYERS from a different state to handle my affairs. RIGHT AWAY, from the beginning, MARISSA REED, WAS A ROCKSTAR!!! Made me feel at ease and answered all of my ridiculous questions like a VETERAN. Now, this has taken almost 9 months to complete, and it was well worth the wait. Marissa Reed took my settlement to a PLACE WHERE ONLY EAGLES SOAR BABY!! I GOT WAAAAY MORE than expected all thanks to the LOWE LAW GROUP AND FIERY MARISSA REED. Thank you Marissa, for ALL YOU DID FOR ME, AND ALL MY STUPID QUESTIONS. I’m alive, have a HEFTY settlement to spend and am more than thankful for these LAWYERS!! MY ATTITUDE HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER ON THEM! HELL YA!!

I was hit by a trailer that crossed the median while I was driving on the highway which not only destroyed my car, but I have had to deal with a concussion, neck and back pain along with other PTSD issues. Life happens, some events alter your life, and it can be difficult to adjust. Lowe Law Group is the absolute best. If you want someone who’s gonna be in your corner and help you out big time. I HIGHLY recommend them. They made it so much easier, and they don’t care just about money. They want you to be able to get the help you need to recover. Specifically, James Brandenburg has been so helpful and relatable. Where other companies have made me feel just like a number, he has made me feel like a friend.

I was in my car waiting at a stoplight when I was rear ended hitting my head, giving me whiplash, and a concussion. It also reaggravated other injuries I was making progress on. Cyra at Lowe Law Group was great jumping right into my case. She was professional and did well in keeping me informed of the process and updating me as needed. There were some challenges in dealing with the culpable party but Lowe Law I believe was able to get me the best settlement possible given all the circumstances and would recommend to anyone who has been involved in an accident.

I cannot say enough, good things about Heather at Lowe Law Group! From the very beginning, she was a beacon of kindness, compassion, and professionalism. She truly cares about her clients, and her empathy shines through in every interaction. Heather made a potentially overwhelming process feel effortless, guiding me with such care and attention to detail that I always felt completely supported and understood. It’s rare to meet somebody who combines such warmth with incredible expertise, but Heather doesn’t flawlessly. She’s truly a gem, and I am beyond grateful for everything she has done!

After one of the worst things that has happened to my daughter or me, Harmony was able help me work through it in every aspect I needed. From the first day we spoke she worked was so kind, honest and she worked hard for us and went above and beyond. Giving me space when I needed it encouraged me to talk when I needed to. She helped me get medical information, check out the boxes of requirements, find a counselor, and More behind-the-scenes I don’t even know about. I NEVER FELT ALONE, it stopped being my battle and it became her’s.This whole process took maybe five months and at the beginning I guessed this would be over one year. I really appreciate her and because of her work! If I ever meet someone who has an unfortunate accident, I will give them the contact information for Lowe Law Group and song their/ Harmony’s praises! THANK YOU HARMONY!

Being in a car accident and dealing with everything from the car damage to the injuries and everything in between is very stressful. I am so grateful for everyone at Lowe Law for helping me every step of the way. Kaitlyn kept me updated on the progress of the case and answered all the questions I had. Jason and Pete are very knowledgeable and explained each step and helped guide me throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has been in a car accident.
Thanks to Ethan for his gentle persuasion and persistent efforts.

Thanks to Ethan for his gentle persuasion and persistent efforts. I am very grateful to have the burden shifted to the real professionals. I might even be able to ski this winter as I expect to be recovered from this accident by the time Powder Mountain has enough snow.
