However, we only pursue compensation from catheter manufacturers and affillates, and do not file claims against our clients’ doctors, hospitals, or caregivers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified catheter claimants, victims are urged to act promptly.

Washington Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
WA catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Washington, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
9th Circuit Catheter Claims in Washington
Washington is part of the Ninth 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 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in Washington 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 9th Circuit catheter compensation.)
Washington State Port-A-Cath Claims
Washington catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts聽(WA Courts Website). The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of Washington follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Washington catheter lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by PowerPort or AngioDynamics regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. However, the port-a-cath patient’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
