West Virginia is part of the Fourth 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 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in West Virginia 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 4th Circuit catheter compensation.)
West Virginia State Port-A-Cath Claims
West Virginia catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts聽(WV Courts Website). The West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of West Virginia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a West Virginia catheter lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by PowerPort or AngioDynamics provided the plaintiff is less than 50% at fault. However, the port-a-cath patient’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
