South Dakota聽Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
SD catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit South Dakota, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
8th Circuit Catheter Claims in South Dakota
South Dakota is part of the Eighth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual catheter lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Catheter port appeals are heard by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in South Dakota may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a PowerPort or AngioDynamics Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 8th Circuit catheter compensation.)
South Dakota聽State Port-A-Cath Claims
South Dakota catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts聽(SD Courts Website). The South Dakota Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of South Dakota follows a slight/gross comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a South Dakota catheter lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by PowerPort or AngioDynamics provided any negligence by the plaintiff is “slight”. However, the port-a-cath patient’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
