South Carolina聽Catheter Lawyer Files Port Implant Lawsuits Statewide
SC catheter port lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit South Carolina, and 2) the severity of port implant infections.
4th Circuit Catheter Claims in South Carolina
South Carolina is part of the Fourth 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 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
However, federal catheter lawsuits filed in South Carolina 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 4th Circuit catheter compensation.)
South Carolina聽State Port-A-Cath Claims
South Carolina catheter lawyers can also file port implant lawsuits in the State’s county courts聽(SC Courts Website). The South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for port-a-cath claims.
The State of South Carolina follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a South Carolina 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).
