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

New York聽Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
NY catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit New York, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
2nd Circuit Catheter Claims in New York
New York is part of the Second 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 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in New York 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 2nd Circuit catheter compensation.)
New York聽State Port-A-Cath Claims
New York catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts聽(NY Courts website). Civil Practice Law and Rules, found in New York Consolidated Laws, set forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a New York 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).
For background information on the PowerPort / AngioDynamics litigation, please see our catheter lawyers homepage.
