Bard PowerPort Claims Guide
How to file a medical device claim.
Confirm Device Implantation
Obtain medical records confirming you received a Bard PowerPort or similar Bard port catheter. Include implantation date and device model if available.
Document Complications
Gather records of any complications: catheter fracture, migration, blood clots, infection, pulmonary embolism, or emergency surgery. Imaging showing device location is valuable.
Check Recall Status
Verify if your device model is included in FDA Class I recall. Your attorney can help determine if your specific device is covered.
Calculate Damages
Document all medical expenses, hospitalizations, lost wages, and ongoing care needs. Emergency surgery and extended hospitalization increase claim value.
Consult a Device Attorney
Contact an attorney experienced in medical device litigation. Many offer free consultations and work on contingency. Act promptly to protect your rights.
