Our Kentucky PowerPort and AngioDynamics lawyers file catheter implant lawsuits for infections and more. Kentucky PowerPort and AngioDynamics lawsuits claim catheter port manufacturers failed to protect patients from the risk of infection.

Kentucky Catheter Lawyers for PowerPort / AngioDynamics Claims
Our team of Kentucky 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 Kentucky catheter attorneys can make for infection compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. Follow this link for our latest information on catheter multi-district litigation (MDL).
Our Kentucky 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.

Kentucky Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
KY catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Kentucky, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
6th Circuit Catheter Claims in Kentucky
Kentucky is part of the Sixth 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 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in Kentucky 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 6th Circuit catheter compensation.)
Kentucky State Port-A-Cath Claims
Kentucky catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts (KY Courts Website). The Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of Kentucky follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Kentucky 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).
