A proven record of verdicts and settlements
Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC is currently investigating claims that inferior vena cava “IVC” filters caused serious complications, including device migration, organ perforation, fractures, and embolization. If you had to undergo a removal of your IVC filter or a replacement surgery, then you may have grounds to file a claim. These cases are complex, so we encourage you to speak with Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC today for a free evaluation of your legal rights and options. Our Portland IVC filter lawsuit attorney is prepared to evaluate your case.
IVC filters are small, metal devices installed in veins to prevent blood clots. The device is placed specifically inside of the inferior vena cava, which is the vein that transports blood to and from the heart and lungs. IVC filters were prescribed to patients at risk for blood clots for a variety of reasons, but many had recently sustained serious trauma such as in a car accident, a fall, spine injury, or even cancer patients.
Some patients have experienced migration of their IVC filter, rendering the device ineffective at preventing blood clots. Without the device working properly, some patients experienced deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Another side effect of IVC filter migration is perforation of internal organs. A defective product attorney in Portland can evaluate your case and help you fight for fair compensation for injuries caused by IVC filter migration.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that between 2005 and 2010, it received more than 900 reports of negative side effects associated with the IVC filter. The most common (around 35% of all reports) was device migration. The next most frequent complication was device embolization, which occurs when components of the device detach from it.
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
There have also been reports of IVC filter complications if the device is left inside of the inferior vena cava for longer than necessary. This is particularly true of retrievable IVC filters, which the FDA recommends removing within 54 days of implantation.
A number of medical device manufacturers have IVC filters that are potentially linked to failure.
