What Are IVC Filters?

IVC Filter Injury

The inferior vena cava is a major vein in the body, and an IVC filter is a wire device that is placed temporarily into a patient. The purpose is to catch blood clots before the clot(s) can reach the patient’s vital organs. The IVC filter keeps the blood clot from progressing through the inferior vena cava until the clot has had an opportunity to break down; until it is of such a size that it no longer poses a health risk. IVC filters are designed to be temporary devices and should be removed from the patient several weeks after being inserted.

What Were IVC Filters Manufactured For?

What Were IVC Filters Manufactured For?

Medical technology has significantly progressed over the past few decades. In recent years, there have been numerous medical devices that help prolong a patient’s life and can even improve a patient’s quality of life. Inferior vena cava filters (often referred to simply as IVC filters) were advertised and marketed as one such device.

Blood clots are potentially fatal clumps of blood that form in the bloodstream and that can be the cause of a serious medical emergency if they disrupt the flow of blood to vital organs like the kidneys, brain, or heart. Blood clots can form due to blood coming into contact with certain substances in your blood or because of medical conditions that result in poor circulation. Anti-coagulants are often prescribed to patients to assist in reducing the likelihood that blood clots will form, but some patients are not able to take anti-coagulant medications. For this latter group of patients, an IVC filter may appear to be an appropriate treatment alternative.

What Are the Side Effects and Symptoms of a Defective IVC Filter?

The failure of an IVC filter leads to harmful side effects. Initial IVC filter troubles and injuries may not appear to be significant and may be mistaken for symptoms of another condition. Some of the symptoms and side effects individuals have reported when their IVC filter device has failed include:

  • Chest pain or neck pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Low blood pressure
  • Confusion or lightheadedness
  • Nausea
  • Internal bleeding
  • Stroke
  • Death

If you have an IVC filter device implanted and you suddenly and inexplicably experience any of these symptoms, it can be very beneficial to seek medical advice and evaluation as soon as possible. Even if the symptoms are benign or not connected to your IVC filter device, knowing that your health is not in immediate jeopardy can be quite a relief.

What Injuries Do the IVC Filter Lawsuits Allege?

Manufacturers of IVC filters, like C.R. Bard and Cook Medical, led patients and doctors to believe that these devices were effective alternatives to anti-coagulant drugs and were capable of keeping dangerous blood clots from traveling through the bloodstream and negatively affecting a patient’s heart, brain, or lungs.

Lawsuits are being filed against C. R. Bard and Cook Medical. Together with other IVC filter device manufacturers, for injuries and losses patients have sustained after having IVC filters implanted. An IVC filter lawsuit will allege that IVC filter devices have perforated the IVC, and pieces of the device have migrated to the patient’s heart or lungs where they have become implanted, or have otherwise been ineffective in catching blood clots before they reach the patient’s vital organs.

However, these findings do not reveal the whole story behind IVC filters. Patients have been injured – even killed – by IVC filters that have come apart or broken while implanted in a patient. The shards of these devices have then torn through veins and punctured organs, leading to serious or even catastrophic medical emergencies that can form the basis of an IVC filter lawsuit. In this way, a device that was marketed and sold as a way to help protect a patient’s health can actually be a source of pain and, in some cases, death for patients.

What Should I Do If I Believe I am Suffering Side Effects or Injuries as a Result of my IVC Filter Device?

If you have an IVC filter implanted and you notice signs or symptoms of a problem with your device – chest pain, nausea, or shortness of breath, for example – speak with your doctor or proceed to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible. In extreme cases, injuries related to your IVC filter device can result in stroke or even death, so prompt medical treatment in helping to ensure the best possible outcome. If you receive treatment from a medical professional with whom you are not acquainted, make sure he or she knows that you have an IVC filter device so that you can obtain appropriate and necessary treatment. Be sure to obtain that necessary medical treatment and ensured your health is not in immediate danger.

How Does the Law Protect IVC Filter Patients?

How Does the Law Protect IVC Filter Patients?

C.R. Bard, Cook Medical, and other manufacturers of IVC filter devices cannot produce a device that is free from dangers and all risks. In fact, the law does not impose a duty on any manufacturer of any product – even one meant to be surgically inserted – to only produce those products that carry no potential risks. However, the law does require these manufacturers to produce an IVC filter device that (1) is reasonably safe for its ordinary use and is not likely to fall apart and disintegrate; (2) is designed to perform the task or tasks that its manufacturers claim it should do; and (3) carry sufficient warnings for consumers and their doctors so that consumers can have an educated and open discussion with their doctors about whether to use an IVC filter device. When manufacturers fail to meet these standards, there are grounds for an IVC lawsuit.

What Are the Legal Obligations For Manufacturing IVC Filters?

IVC filter devices that fall apart during normal use or that do not carry sufficiently detailed warnings and cautionary statements are said to have one or more defects – characteristics that pose a serious and possibly deadly risk to the patient. IVC filter manufacturers are required to take reasonable measures and expend reasonable amounts of time and resources in order to either reduce the risks posed by defects or (ideally) eliminate defects from the product. Those defects which remain even after reasonable efforts to eliminate them have been made must be brought to the attention of the end user of the product as well as those who may sell or distribute the product.

When an IVC filter manufacturer fails to uphold its obligations in this regard and the IVC filter device causes you or your loved ones to suffer injuries and losses, an IVC filter injury lawsuit is the vehicle through which you can obtain financial compensation (called “damages”). This is because the law in all states does not require individuals who are injured by the careless or reckless acts of another to bear the financial costs of the expenses and losses they incur as a result of the acts of another.

Compensation from winning the lawsuit or IVC filter lawsuit settlements can be obtained to address:

  • Medical bills, hospital invoices, and the cost of additional medical care
  • Therapeutic services or rehabilitative services if these are ordered by your doctor
  • The cost of prescription drugs or other medical devices deemed appropriate by your doctor
  • Lost wages due to time missed from work because of medical appointments or symptoms that prevent you from working
  • A decrease in your future earnings if the injuries you sustained as a result of your IVC filter’s defects keep you from returning to work or from returning to your previous employment
  • Loss of enjoyment of life or an inability to engage in those hobbies and pursuits that once brought you joy
  • Pain, anguish, and mental suffering – especially because these can negatively impact your quality of life

What Manufacturers of IVC Filters and/or Devices are the Subject of IVC Filter Lawsuits?

Some of the most common IVC filter manufacturers and devices involved in IVC filter injury lawsuits include:

  1. the Recovery filter (manufactured by C.R. Bard)
  2. the G2 filter and G2 Express filter (also manufactured by C.R. Bard)
  3. the Günther Tulip filter (manufactured by Cook Medical)
  4. the Celect filter (also manufactured by Cook Medical)

You may be entitled to compensation for your IVC filter-related injuries, even if your IVC filter is not one of the devices mentioned above or manufactured by a manufacturer other than C.R. Bard or Cook Medical.

C.R. Bard, Cook Medical, and additional manufacturers of defective IVC filters had the opportunity to know that their medical devices were defective or dangerous, but did not take appropriate steps to warn consumers about these risks and dangers. Because of this, these manufacturers should be held to account when you or your loved one have been injured.

C.R. Bard and Cook Medical IVC Lawsuit Updates

Two of the manufacturers that came under fire for IVC filter claims in recent years have been C.R. Bard Inc. and Cook Medical. In 2018, a Texas jury determined Cook Medical had to pay the plaintiff of an IVC filter claim $1.2 million. Furthermore, as of May 2020, there were 2,085 claims against C.R. Bard and their IVCs.

Which IVC Filters Have Been Recalled?

So far, several IVC filters from numerous manufacturers have been recalled due to unforeseen complications and side effects. Among those that have been recalled are the Cordis OPTEASE Filter and Introduction Kit, the Bard Denali Filter, the Gunther Tulip Filter, and the Greenfield Filter System which was made by Boston Scientific Scimed. Though IVC filters are generally considered safe, they can cause pain and other more severe side effects when something goes wrong.

Do I Have Grounds for a Claim?

You may have a claim for compensation for your IVC filter injuries if you had an IVC filter device implanted and that device thereafter caused you to suffer some injury or adverse effect. However, it is practically impossible to know what your precise legal rights are without having the facts and circumstances of your case reviewed by an experienced IVC filter attorney who is familiar with the factual elements of a successful IVC filter injury case: careless behavior, causation, and compensation.

Careless Behavior

In order for any IVC filter claims to succeed, first, there must be evidence of careless behavior on the part of the IVC filter manufacturer. Careless behavior exists if a similarly-situated and reasonable IVC filter manufacturer would not have engaged in the same behavior or course of conduct that the IVC filter manufacturer in your case actually did. Some examples of careless behavior that has been alleged in other IVC filter injury lawsuits include manufacturers who did not properly design or construct their IVC filter devices and thereby caused them to fail to prevent blood clots or to disintegrate and send dangerous metal shards through the patient’s body. Careless behavior may also include failing to include adequate warnings to doctors and consumers about an increased risk of pulmonary embolism or stroke.

Causation

Do I Have Grounds for a Claim?

Next, the manufacturer’s careless (sometimes called “negligent”) behavior or omission must have been part of the cause, or even the sole cause, of your injury or adverse medical event. In some states, you are entitled to recover compensation even if you yourself contributed to your injury in some way (by failing to obtain prompt treatment when you noticed signs that your IVC filter was causing you trouble); in other states, any negligence on your part can preclude you from recovering any compensation at all. Simply put, if the injury or adverse effect you experienced would not have happened “but for” the defect in the IVC filter device, then the element of causation is usually met. For example, if you and your doctor would not have implanted a specific IVC filter device had proper warnings and information been provided by the manufacturer, then the element of causation may be met. Similarly, if a properly-constructed IVC filter device would not have caused your pulmonary embolism or stroke, the IVC filter’s manufacturer may be held responsible and liable for your damages.

Compensation

Finally, you must be able to show that you need a compensation award of money because you incurred medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other injuries, losses, and expenses as a result of your IVC filter device’s defect. The injury, loss, or expense for which you are seeking compensation must also be causally connected to the IVC filter defect. For example, while you may be able to recover compensation for additional hospital bills and rehabilitation costs you incurred after suffering a pulmonary embolism caused by your IVC filter, you would not be able to recover compensation for car repairs you had to pay after your car broke down on the way to the hospital. While some bills like medical expenses and lost wages are easy to document and support, other losses like pain and suffering are more difficult to quantify. What is more, you only really get one chance to obtain the compensation you need: if you succeed in your lawsuit, but fail to request enough compensation to adequately address all of your needs, in most cases you will not be able to “re-open” your case in order to request additional compensation.

Statute of Limitations – The IVC Filter Lawsuit Deadline

Each state and jurisdiction has a specific statute of limitations that applies to IVC filter injury lawsuits and limits the amount of time available to you within which you can file a claim for monetary damages. Some states have statutes of limitations that are four years in length or even longer; other states may only give you one year within which to file a claim for compensation. Violating this statute of limitations can have disastrous effects on your injury lawsuit. If you run afoul of the statute of limitations by filing your blood clot filter lawsuit too late, you may find that your lawsuit is dismissed by the court without any award of damages or compensation to you. Your lawsuit may be dismissed even if the evidence of the IVC filter manufacturer’s carelessness is clear and convincing. Avoid this result by retaining an attorney to assist you in filing your lawsuit as soon as possible.

Discovery Rule

One narrow yet important exception to the statute of limitations is known as the “discovery rule.” This rule says that the “clock” for the statute of limitations does not begin to run until a reasonable person in your situation “knew or should have known” that you had suffered an IVC filter-related injury. For example, suppose that you live in a state with a two-year statute of limitations. Suppose further that in January 2018 you begin noticing some strange but mild symptoms such as shortness of breath or nausea. Even though you keep several appointments with your doctor, it is not until you suffer a pulmonary embolism in July 2018 that your IVC filter device is identified as being responsible for your symptoms earlier in the year. In this situation, you would likely have until July 2020 to file your claim for compensation.

Process of an IVC Filter Injury Case

Investigation Phase

Process of an IVC Filter Injury Case

Your IVC filter lawsuit “begins” with an investigation into your injuries to determine that there is sufficient evidence (in the form of objective, tangible evidence as well as the testimony of witnesses) backing up your claim that your IVC filter device caused you to sustain injuries and losses. It is beneficial to complete this task before a lawsuit is actually filed with a court. You would not want to spend the time and resources it takes to take a case from start to finish if there was only a slim chance (or no chance at all) that your claim would be successful. An investigation to identify and consider the quantity and quality of evidence available to support your claim will enable you and your attorney to fully discuss whether a lawsuit should be filed to seek compensation for your IVC filter-related injury claims.

Filing of Pleadings

If it is decided that a lawsuit should be initiated, the first step involves the filing of initial pleadings with the appropriate court. These pleadings lay out in a concise fashion the facts and legal authorities which you claim entitle you to compensation for your injuries. Essentially, these initial documents must allege enough facts and legal authorities so that a court would believe you would be entitled to the compensation and relief you are asking for if it were to believe everything you allege as true. At the same time that these initial pleadings are filed with the court, copies of these pleadings are also served on the IVC filter device manufacturer and any other defendant named in your lawsuit as being responsible (in whole or in part) for your IVC filter-related injuries. These individuals or entities will typically file an answer or written response to your allegations.

Discovery Process

The next step in the litigation process is called “discovery.” It is during this phase that the parties generally “discover” the information, evidence, and witnesses that the other party intends on using to support its claims and allegations. Witnesses may be deposed or interviewed under oath about their intended testimony at trial. Expert witnesses such as medical professionals or engineers who are familiar with IVC filter devices and their designs will prepare reports of their findings and conclusions and share these with the other party. Documents, reports, records, photographs, and other similar evidence may be copied and shared as well.

Litigation (If a “Fair and Just” Settlement Cannot Be Reached)

The last general phase in litigation involves a trial on the issues. A trial will occur if the parties have not been able to reach any IVC filter lawsuit settlements and you, the plaintiff, decide that you wish to present your case to a judge or jury. One or more pretrial hearings may be held before the date of the actual trial in order to decide what evidence or testimony is to be presented and what rules or limitations will be in place during the trial. After evidence and the testimony of witnesses has been presented, the factfinder (either a judge or jury) will render a verdict in favor of one party or the other and will determine what monetary damages – if any – are appropriate.

You should expect that at every stage of litigation your IVC filter injury lawyer will be keeping you informed about the type of hearing that is occurring and what important decisions you need to make. Your IVC filter injury attorney will help you move as swiftly as possible through the litigation process so you can obtain the compensation you need in a timely manner.

How Much Can I Receive From a Settlement in an IVC Filter Lawsuit? What are Typical Settlement Amounts?

Thousands of Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters lawsuits are being filed all over the country in an attempt to obtain compensation for serious injuries or deaths. An IVC filter lawsuit alleges that an IVC filter has malfunctioned, leading to it break apart causing either serious injuries or even death.

Parker Waichman LLP has helped our clients to recover more than $2 Billion for injury victims throughout the United States. Our law firm is currently reviewing and accepting IVC filter injury cases nationwide.

Without having a qualified attorney review your case it’s hard to say exactly how much you might expect to win from your IVC lawsuit. Factors such as severity of injuries, cost of medical bills, punitive damages, wrongful death, and length of time to recover all need to be considered on a case-by-case basis. However, you could potentially be awarded amounts anywhere from $200,000 to $750,000 from either a settlement or trial litigation.

IVC Filter Injury Claim FAQs

Being injured as the result of your IVC filter device can be a terrifying and confusing experience. You need and deserve answers to your questions and concerns. Your IVC filter injury lawyer is here to ensure you receive accurate and timely answers to your questions so you can make the important decisions necessary to protect your legal rights. You may have questions right now: some common questions we receive from our IVC filter injury clients include:

Q: What if My Doctor Explained the Risks associated with my IVC filter? Does that mean that I cannot recover any compensation?

A: Not necessarily. IVC filter injury lawsuits allege that the manufacturers of these devices either (1) did not adequately inform the general public – including your doctor or surgeon – about the risks of these devices; or (2) did not take reasonable and appropriate steps to manufacture IVC devices that were reasonably safe for intended patients. Even if your doctor told you there were certain risks associated with having an IVC filter device implanted, you may still be entitled to compensation if the information provided to you by your doctor was incomplete or did not fully advise you of all the risks associated with the IVC device. Further, a defectively-manufactured IVC filter device that causes injury to you may still result in you being able to obtain compensation regardless of what information regarding risks and dangers was communicated to you.

Q: How Often Should I See my Doctor? Should I Ever Stop Visiting My Doctor if I File an IVC Filter Lawsuit?

A: Not only should you continue to see your doctor regularly, you should also follow any instructions he or she has for you. If you are unsure whether your doctor is providing you with accurate and appropriate medical advice, or if you do not trust the doctor who implanted your IVC filter, you should not hesitate to seek out a second opinion from another appropriate medical professional of your choosing. Depending upon the state in which your IVC filter injury lawsuit is filed, ceasing medical treatment or failing to keep regular and reasonable appointments with your doctor can be cause for a reduction in the amount of compensation you receive (or, in certain cases, a denial of any compensation altogether). In the event that you have comments, questions or concerns about whether you ought to continue seeing your doctor for regular appointments, contact your IVC filter injury lawyer for guidance.

Q: How Long Should an IVC Filter be Left In?

A: IVC filters are generally left in for about 2 to 3 weeks. Though these filters can be removed, even in circumstances in which they have been in place for several years, it is often unwise to do so if the risk for blood clots traveling through your system remains.

Q: Can I Get an MRI With an IVC Filter in Place?

A: Yes, even with a Greenfield Filter made of stainless steel. The risk of it moving due to the magnetic field is considered to be very low. However, it is still very important to let your healthcare provider know of your filter before going through with an MRI.

How Can an IVC Filter Injury Lawyer Help Me?

Like other medication and medical device injury lawsuits, a claim against the manufacturer of an IVC filter device for injuries you sustained is complex. You will almost certainly be required to provide additional evidence and testimony beyond the facts of your injury. Given this inherent complexity in IVC filter cases coupled with the pressure of knowing that, once filed, your ability to recover monetary compensation for your injuries depends on a successful resolution to your case, you will want the services of a knowledgeable lawyer. Trying to handle an IVC filter injury case on your own or with a law firm that lacks experience in and knowledge of these types of cases could cost you the settlement you deserve.

When you retain the services of Parker Waichman LLP, you can expect your attorney and supporting legal team will:

Honestly assess your claim, so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed: Not every IVC filter injury will result in a successful claim, and it takes considerable legal knowledge and experience to know what facts and circumstances make for a successful IVC filter lawsuit. You can lose valuable time and resources by pursuing a claim that ultimately is unsuccessful, so you will want an attorney who can honestly advise you of your legal rights and the likelihood of succeeding in an IVC filter injury case.

Discuss settlement offers with you: The manufacturer of your IVC filter may propose a settlement offer to you if the evidence of the manufacturer’s liability is clear and the manufacturer does not have a viable defense. In a settlement offer, the manufacturer proposes to pay you a certain sum of money in exchange for you agreeing not to pursue any additional damages or compensation beyond that which is agreed to in the settlement. The amount of compensation offered, however, may not be sufficient to fully compensate you. Your attorney can discuss with you whether a particular settlement offer should be accepted or rejected. If you and your attorney elect to reject a settlement offer, your attorney can assist you in deciding whether to make a counteroffer to the manufacturer or whether it would be more beneficial to continue with your lawsuit.

Meeting legal obligations and deadlines: Every litigant in a lawsuit has obligations to provide certain discovery to the other party within specified periods of time, to format pleadings, motions, and other documents to legal requirements, and to take actions such as responding to motions made by the other party within the timeframes provided by law. Those who choose to represent themselves during their IVC filter lawsuit are expected to conform with these requirements and obligations just as if they were an attorney themselves. Rather than attempt to learn your jurisdiction’s laws and rules at a time when you and your family are recovering from the effects of your IVC filter injury, allow your attorney – who is already well-versed in these issues – to assist in keeping your case moving and in compliance with the law.

Handling negotiations and discussions with the opposing party: If your health has just been jeopardized because of an IVC filter-related incident, likely the last thing you want to do is to have to speak with the legal team representing the IVC filter manufacturer. This is especially true when one considers that such discussions and conversations (whether about your legal claim, a settlement offer, or some other related matter) can occur with great frequency and regularity. Some of these conversations can be tense or difficult, causing you additional stress (and delaying your physical recovery even more). By retaining experienced counsel, your attorney will have these difficult conversations with the opposing party on your behalf. Rest assured, though, that any important information or updates will be brought to your attention in a timely manner.
