Bard PowerPort Lawsuit

Bard PowerPort lawsuits allege that defects in implanted port catheters can cause fractures, migration, blood clots, infections, embolisms, and other serious complications. Thousands of product liability lawsuits are now pending against Bard and its parent company, Becton Dickinson, in a federal multidistrict litigation in Arizona. After a long slog, these cases are now moving forward.

The first bellwether trial ended with a partial defense verdict and a deadlocked jury on the central design defect claim. The second trial, Divelbliss v. C.R. Bard, led to a $40 million verdict. It involved an alleged fracture of a silicone Groshong catheter. The third trial, Lattanzio, ended in a defense verdict on October 30, 2026, in a catheter infection case. Five bellwether trials are scheduled through February 2027. The early results have been very different, and our lawyers remain bullish on well-documented fracture, migration, and embolization cases.

This page provides the latest Bard PowerPort lawsuit updates, projected settlement amounts, and information about who may qualify to file a claim.

AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Our lawyers are handling AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits around the country.

This page provides the most recent news and updates on the AFFF firefighting foam class action lawsuit and our prediction of the settlement amounts that plaintiffs with AFFF cancer lawsuits can expect to receive. You will not get more updated news on the AFFF litigation anywhere else.

Our AFFF firefighting foam lawyers believe the defendants will settle most of these lawsuits this year (2026) before a single trial. Why? They will follow the same pattern as the water contamination lawsuits they settled for billions of dollars. In those cases, we saw the defendants’ apparent preference for settlement over the uncertainties of a trial. This makes sense; the AFFF lawsuits are strong cases.

California Juvenile Detention Sex Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This page will look at sex abuse lawsuits involving inmates at California juvenile detention center facilities and the potential settlement value for your abuse claim. The sad reality is that child inmates in California’s juvenile detention centers are often victims of sexual abuse and assault by staff and other inmates. Now is the time for justice and compensation.

Thanks to new laws in California, victims of sexual assault and abuse at juvenile facilities in California are now able to file civil sex abuse lawsuits against the state, counties, and other responsible public entities for failing to protect them. Our firm is currently accepting California juvenile detention center sex abuse lawsuits. Los Angeles County has already agreed to more than $4.8 billion in major childhood sexual abuse settlements, but there is no single statewide global settlement covering every California juvenile detention claim. Claims against other counties and former state facilities remain separate.

Doctor Sexual Abuse Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Doctors occupy a position of deep trust, especially when patients are vulnerable or undergoing intimate examinations. Some exploit that trust. Patients who have been sexually assaulted or abused by physicians, OB-GYNs, or other healthcare providers may have civil claims against the doctor and, when the evidence supports it, the hospital or medical practice that allowed the abuse to happen.

One of the first questions we ask in a doctor sexual abuse case is who else knew. Was there a history of complaints? Did other patients raise concerns? Did the hospital choose to protect the doctor instead of protecting patients? Often, the truth is hidden in medical records, complaint logs, and internal emails. The doctor’s malpractice insurance may not cover intentional sexual misconduct, so a claim against a responsible hospital or medical practice can make the difference between winning a judgment and actually collecting compensation.

Our doctor sexual abuse lawyers represent victims of sexual assault by medical professionals. We pursue claims against doctors and, where the evidence supports it, the hospitals and practices that failed to protect patients.

Foster Care Sex Abuse Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

When the state removes children from their parents or guardians and places them in foster care, the state assumes significant responsibility for keeping those children safe. If a child is sexually abused because of a dangerous foster placement, ignored warning signs, or a failure to respond to reports of abuse, the child may have legal claims against the state, a private foster care agency, or both.

Foster care sex abuse lawsuits are now being filed across the country. On this page, our national sex abuse lawyers look at the basics of foster care sexual abuse lawsuits and their potential settlement payout value.

Spinal Cord Stimulator Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

A spinal cord stimulator is an implantable medical device used to manage chronic pain, most often involving the back or spine. These systems are marketed as a way to reduce pain by interrupting nerve signals before they reach the brain. But for a growing number of patients, the device fails to help. It introduces new and sometimes permanent problems, including electrical shocks, burning pain, infections, lead migration, hardware failure, and repeat surgeries to reposition or remove equipment that was supposed to improve quality of life.

This page explains spinal cord stimulator lawsuits and why they are being filed nationwide. It focuses on what patients are alleging, how these devices have failed in real-world use, and why many of these cases go beyond ordinary medical malpractice claims. The most serious lawsuits do not center on a single surgical mistake. They examine how modern spinal cord stimulators were designed, tested, and approved, and whether patients were ever adequately warned about the risks that now recur repeatedly in medical records and FDA reports.

Many victims want to know what spinal cord stimulator settlement amounts will look like and how we think compensation will be calculated, assuming an ultimate settlement. Settlement amounts and payouts in these cases will depend on several factors, which we dig into more fully below.

Abbott Spinal Cord Stimulator Lawsuit (2026): MDL 3194

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Abbott spinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being filed by patients who say devices intended to relieve their chronic pain instead caused electrical shocks, burning sensations, worsening pain, neurological injuries, and additional surgery. Some patients say their stimulators failed after repeated reprogramming attempts. Others allege that the leads moved, that the system stopped delivering treatment, or that Abbott representatives became more involved in their medical care than they should have, putting Abbott’s interests ahead of the patients’ well-being.

That paragraph is a nutshell of what this litigation is about. The number of filed cases is low right now, but our lawyers believe this litigation will eventually involve thousands of claims. We are getting a lot of calls in these cases, and lawyers we work with are also reporting that they are developing huge inventories of these cases.

On October 2, 2026, the federal judicial panel created MDL No. 3194 to coordinate related Abbott cases for pretrial proceedings in the Northern District of Illinois. The cases are assigned to U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins.
