A Federal Jury Awarded $40 Million in a PowerPort Fracture Claim
In September 2026, a federal jury awarded $40 million in compensatory damages in a lawsuit involving a Bard PowerPort catheter that fractured and migrated inside the patient's body. The jury found for the plaintiff on claims involving negligent design defect and failure to warn. The lawsuit involved serious cardiac injuries and additional medical procedures.
Every claim is different. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
But if you experienced a serious complication involving a Bard PowerPort, you should find out whether your circumstances may qualify for a claim.
What Is a Bard PowerPort?
A PowerPort is an implanted medical device designed to provide repeated access to the bloodstream for treatments such as chemotherapy, medications, infusions, and blood draws. The port is typically placed under the skin and connected to a catheter that enters a blood vessel.
The problem is what can happen when the catheter fails.
PowerPort lawsuits allege that certain catheters can fracture, crack, separate, or migrate inside the body, potentially causing serious injuries. Claims have also involved infections, blood clots, and vascular complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I had a Bard PowerPort?
You may not know, and that's common. Medical records from the facility where your port was implanted may identify the manufacturer and model. If you're unsure, you can still request a claim review.
What if my PowerPort has already been removed?
You may still qualify. What matters is the device you received, what happened to it, the injuries or complications you experienced, and the medical treatment that resulted.
What if my catheter fractured?
Catheter fracture is one of the central injuries involved in Bard PowerPort litigation. Fragments of a fractured catheter may migrate through the vascular system and can require medical procedures or surgery to remove them.
What if I developed an infection or sepsis?
Claims involving PowerPort devices have also involved serious infections. Infection claims can present different medical and legal issues from catheter-fracture claims, so each situation needs to be reviewed individually.
What if I had a blood clot?
Blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other thrombotic complications, are among the conditions being evaluated in connection with PowerPort claims.
Do I need to know my exact PowerPort model?
No. If you know you had an implanted port but do not know the manufacturer or exact model, you can still contact us.
How much does it cost to find out if I qualify?
Nothing. Your initial claim review is free and there is no obligation to move forward.
Will I have to pay a lawyer upfront?
No. If a participating law firm accepts your claim, you will not be asked to pay attorney fees upfront or write a check to the firm to begin pursuing it. The attorneys are paid only if they obtain a recovery for you.
What if I'm not sure whether my injury was caused by the port?
You don't need to determine that yourself. Tell us what happened and the medical treatment you received. The information can then be evaluated to determine whether further investigation is appropriate.
