Learn more about gentamicin poisoning. Visit our Gentamicin Poisoning Information Center, created as a service to those who suffer from this debilitating and often misunderstood condition.
Gentamicin is an effective and powerful antibiotic administered in hospitals and nursing homes to combat severe infections. Because it has serious, well-documented side effects, its use requires close attention to dosing and constant monitoring.
Extended use or excessive dosages can result in irreversible damage to the inner ear, leaving patients permanently injured and unable to engage in normal activities.
When you are suffering with the devastating but obscure condition known as gentamicin ototoxicity (also called gentamicin poisoning), you can feel isolated and alone. In many cases, even your doctors don't understand your condition.
We understand what you are going through.
We know how to help.
Keith S. Douglass & Associates, LLP is one of the few law firms equipped to investigate and litigate gentamicin poisoning claims throughout the United States. Over the years, we have reviewed more than 200 cases and managed more than 50, representing clients in over 30 states.
Our principal attorney, Keith S. Douglass, studied graduate level pharmacology, was engaged in medical research and ran a clinical laboratory before becoming a lawyer. His understanding of biology, pharmacology, and medicine allows him to pursue gentamicin cases efficiently and achieve fair results for clients.
"More than once I have been told by a physician I was questioning, 'Mr. Douglass, it's obvious you know more about gentamicin poisoning than I do.'"
When you retain Keith S. Douglass and Associates, LLP you will be represented by an exceptionally knowledgeable and caring team. Because gentamicin toxicity is, fortunately, relatively rare, most attorneys who deal with medical malpractice cases are unfamiliar with the issues involved in negligently prescribing or monitoring gentamicin. Because we have dealt first-hand with so many victims of gentamicin poisoning, you don’t need to educate us about the profound challenges a victim of gentamicin poisoning faces.
Often, our clients had previously tried local medical malpractice attorneys who don’t appreciate the severity of their injury, because it is not visible or readily apparent. They cannot understand how a drug damaging cells of the inner ear can cause a permanent balance disorder.
At Keith S. Douglass & Associates, LLP, we understand terms such as bilateral vestibulopathy, oscillopsia, aminoglycosides, hair cells, vestibulo-ocular reflex, rotational chair testing, electronystagmography, and computerized dynamic posturography. We understand the physiology of gentamicin ototoxicity and how it impacts one’s life. We have visited dozens of homes of our clients who are gentamicin negligence victims and have seen how they ambulate, and have observed firsthand the frustrations of them trying to have a normal life when their world is constantly blurred and bouncing.
Please contact us today to discuss the specifics of your case. Your initial consultation is free and you will pay no attorneys fees unless we recover financial compensation for you.
