Rhode Island Catheter Lawyers for PowerPort / AngioDynamics Claims
Our team of Rhode Island catheter attorneys has represented thousands of victims of dangerous medical devices. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
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. The #1 claim Rhode Island catheter attorneys can make for infection compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations.

Rhode Island Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
RI catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Rhode Island, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
1st Circuit Catheter Claims in Rhode Island
Rhode Island is part of the First 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 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in Rhode Island 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 1st Circuit catheter compensation.)
Rhode Island State Port-A-Cath Claims
Rhode Island catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts (RI Courts Website). The Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth Rhode Island’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of Rhode Island follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Rhode Island 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).
