Hawaii Catheter Lawyers for PowerPort / AngioDynamics Claims
Our team of Hawaii 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 Hawaii catheter attorneys can make for infection compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. Follow this link for our latest information on聽catheter multi-district litigation (MDL).
Our Hawaii catheter lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm use of a qualified catheter port and diagnosis of a related injury. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

Hawaii Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
HI catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Hawaii, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
9th Circuit Catheter Claims in Hawaii
Hawaii 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 Hawaii 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.)
Hawaii State Port-A-Cath Claims
Hawaii catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts聽(HI Courts Website). The Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of Hawaii follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Hawaii 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).
