Why waiting costs you this claim
Device claims depend on records that hospitals do not keep forever. The sooner counsel requests your implant and explant records, the stronger the claim.
Eligibility
You may qualify if…
- You were implanted with a Bard PowerPort or similar port catheter
- You suffered a fracture, migration, infection, blood clot, or serious complication
- The complication required treatment, removal, or revision
- You have not already signed a fee agreement with another attorney
Not sure whether your situation fits? That is exactly what the free review is for. There is no wrong answer and no obligation.
The litigation
What the PowerPort litigation is about
A port catheter is implanted under the skin to deliver chemotherapy, antibiotics, or other long-term treatment without repeated needle sticks. It is meant to stay in place safely for months or years.
Plaintiffs allege that a specific polyurethane material used in Bard PowerPort devices was prone to degrade, crack, and fracture inside the body — releasing fragments that can migrate to the heart or lungs — and that the design also elevated infection and clotting risk.
Federal cases have been consolidated for coordinated pretrial proceedings. Patients who required emergency retrieval of a fractured fragment, treatment for sepsis, or surgical revision are among those filing.

Client outcomes
People who almost didn’t call
“I had put it off for two years because I assumed a lawyer would cost money I did not have. The review took four minutes and I was on the phone with a firm that had handled my exact device the same afternoon.”
“What I needed was somebody to tell me plainly whether I had a case. They did that, in writing, without pressure, and without asking me for a card number at any point.”
“My daughter's situation was hard to talk about. The intake specialist was careful with her and the attorney they matched us with had already handled dozens of these claims.”
