Keches Law Teams Up with Bosworth Law To File Lawsuit Against Drug Manufacturer Bayer, Beth Israel Deaconess

April 18, 2024 //  by Keches Law

UTI Antibiotic Left 44-Year-Old Walpole Woman Unable to Walk

Boston – Keches Law Group has teamed up with Tom Bosworth of Bosworth Law, a Philadelphia based catastrophic injury firm, filing a lawsuit this week on behalf of Talia Smith, age 44, of Walpole, for permanent and irreversible injuries she has suffered from taking just 3 antibiotic pills. The antibiotic—Ciprofloxacin (“Cipro” for short)—carries a blackbox warning that it can cause “disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions” to the central nervous system. Smith alleges in the lawsuit that the Beth Israel Deaconess nurse practitioner who prescribed her Cipro for a minor UTI never explained any of the risks or side effects of Cipro. 

As a result of her injuries, Smith has been hospitalized numerous times, even spending her 42nd birthday admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital. Once a thriving employee climbing the ladder at her corporate job, Smith is now completely disabled and unable to work at all. This has devastated Smith and turned the life of her and her husband, a disabled war veteran whom she used to care for, upside down. Now both Smith and her husband require around-the-clock care.

What is the Lawsuit About?

The, complaint filed in Suffolk Superior court (Docket Number 2484CV01006) by Bosworth and Keches Law Group attorney, Chris Lynett,  brings negligence and failure to warn claims against the nurse practitioner who prescribed the Cipro and the nurse practitioner’s Beth Israel Deaconess/Harvard practice based out of Sharon, MA. In addition, Smith named global conglomerate Bayer—the manufacturer of Cipro—as a defendant for creating an unreasonably dangerous and defective antibiotic that fails to adequately warn about the drug’s risks and the severity of those risks. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages against the defendants to compensate Smith for her economic and non-economic damages in the past and into the future.

“No antibiotic that can permanently disable a healthy person should ever be prescribed in this country to treat a routine UTI,” said Bosworth. “After taking just 3 Cipro pills, Talia Smith’s life as she knew it was ripped away from her.” Bosworth explained: “Talia now spends her days confined to a bed unable to function as a normal human being.” Bosworth said that he “will not stop until full responsibility and accountability is taken by the defendants in this case.”
