Illinois SCS Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
IL spinal cord stimulator lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Illinois, and 2) the severity of SCS burns or infection.
Illinois State Spinal Cord Claims
When all parties reside in Illinois, spinal cord stimulator lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (IL Courts Website). Chapter 735 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes sets forth the State’s procedural law for SCS malfunction claims.
The State of Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, an Illinois spinal cord stimulator lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Abbott Labs or Boston Scientific provided the plaintiff is less than 50% at fault. However, the nerve victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
7th Circuit Spinal Cord Claims in Illinois
Illinois is part of the Seventh聽Circuit of the federal court system, and individual spinal cord stimulator lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Pain management appeals are heard by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the nerve injuries are severe, SCS claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal spinal cord stimulator lawsuits filed in Illinois may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a burn and infection Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 7th Circuit spinal cord stimulator compensation.)
