No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified catheter claimants, victims are urged to act promptly.

Illinois Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
IL catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Illinois, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
7th Circuit Catheter Claims in Illinois
Illinois is part of the Seventh 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 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in Illinois 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 7th Circuit catheter compensation.)
Illinois State Port-A-Cath Claims
Illinois catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts聽(IL Courts Website). Chapter 735 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, an Illinois 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).
For background information on the PowerPort / AngioDynamics litigation, please see our catheter lawyers homepage.
