3rd Circuit Catheter Claims in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is part of the Third 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 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals.

However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in Pennsylvania 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 3rd Circuit catheter compensation.)

Pennsylvania State Port-A-Cath Claims

Pennsylvania catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts (PA Courts Website). Title 231 of the Pennsylvania Code sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.

The State of Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Pennsylvania catheter lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by PowerPort or AngioDynamics provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the port-a-cath patient’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
