PowerPort Lawsuit
Thousands of people undergo treatment for cancer every day across the United States. One treatment method is chemotherapy which can be directly administered into the body with devices known as chemo ports. These devices are subdermal implants directly linked to a vein, eliminating the need for needles with a safer and more efficient delivery process.
Certain chemo ports have been discovered to fail, leading to serious and life-threatening injuries. You may qualify for legal compensation if you were implanted with a chemo port in 2013 or later and suffered complications such as malfunction or removal. Contact us and reclaim your life today.

There are two significant ways a catheter port can cause severe injuries: migration and fracturing. Migration occurs when the catheter breaks away from the port and moves throughout the body while fracturing is where broken pieces enter the bloodstream. Both outcomes result in infections, blockage, and even possible death.
If your device was implanted in 2013 or later, you may still qualify for legal compensation. Even if it has now been removed for complications, you may still meet the criteria necessary to connect with legal representation and pursue the justice you deserve.
Can I file a claim on their behalf?
Possibly. You may qualify for legal aid through a wrongful death lawsuit with damages for funeral expenses, loss of income, or pain and suffering. While this fight can’t bring them back, you can ensure another family isn’t devastated by this kind of corporate negligence.
We can connect you to expert litigators experienced with defective medical device lawsuits who will provide the legal support you need and guide you through the lawsuit. Contact us today and join others pursuing justice and reclaiming their lives.

Chemo Port Complications
PowerPort Lawsuit
Who is at Fault
The manufacturer, C.R. Bard, and their PowerPort devices are the ones responsible for these complications. They allegedly knew their products were defective but failed to warn the public or medical professionals about these possibilities. Doctors and hospital staff did everything necessary to ensure these devices were safe for victims and held no responsibility for resulting complications.
This mass tort is still in its infancy, meaning no major settlements have been reached or are open to the public. However, defective medical devices are a serious legal issue with C.R. Bard who has been a defendant in numerous litigations, such as the one with their Composix Kugel Hernia Mesh where they agreed to a $184 million settlement to end multiple lawsuits.
This is a Mass Tort, Not a Class Action
What's the difference?
In a mass tort, victims are treated as individuals and the specific merits of each claim are taken into consideration. In a class action, every victim has a similar injury and is treated identically.
The benefit of mass tort litigation is that plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations which ultimately lead to significantly greater payouts compared to class actions.
- Settlements and payouts tend to be significantly higher compared to class action awards
- Plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations
