How do I know which compound was used for my MRI or MRA injection?
Most likely you will never know this. It may or may not show up in a person's medical records. The one place it will be is in the accounting records of the hospital or other facility where the MRI or MRA was done, showing what company the hospital or other facility paid for the contrast medium used in the scan. If you have been diagnosed with NSF or have woody, thick skin – your lawyer can subpoena your medical records.
How much does a NSF/NFD lawsuit cost?
It won't cost you a dime. If Anapol Schwartz agrees to be retained, we take your case on a percentage contingency basis. That means if you don't win your product negligence lawsuit, we don't get paid. No recovery; no fees; simple.
Will I recover from NSF/NFD?
While there is no consistently successful treatment for NSF, improving renal function seems to slow or arrest NSF and in many cases allows for gradual reversal of the process over time. New treatments are continually being researched.
