Gadolinium Lawsuits - Consumer Attorney Larry Gornick to Discuss Serious MRI Side Effects That May Cause Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF)

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. Larry Gornick, partner of Levin Simes Kaiser & Gornick, a consumer advocacy law firm will appear on a Boston-area news program to discuss the adverse effects of Gadolinium. Mr. Gornick has been appointed to the National Gadolinium Litigation Plaintiff's Steering Committee, which consists of only 16 members. A position on this committee is important because this group deals with issues affecting the outcome of all gadolinium cases.

Gadolinium is a chemical component of numerous intravenous radio contrast agents used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-rays. Many of these contrast agents have recently been found to cause the terminal disease, nephrogenic system fibrosis (NSF) or nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD). Patients with this disease develop discolored and thickened skin, and eventually suffer from painful joint inhibitions, scarring of internal organs and death.

Mr. Gornick is an experienced Gadolinium lawyer that will discuss the legal rights of victims, as well as answer any other legal questions related to the deadly side effects of Gadolinium.
