Rhode Island SCS Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
RI spinal cord stimulator lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Rhode Island, and 2) the severity of SCS burns or infection.
Rhode Island State Spinal Cord Claims
When all parties reside in Rhode Island, spinal cord stimulator lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (RI Courts Website). The Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth Rhode Island’s procedural law for SCS malfunction claims.
The State of Rhode Island follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Rhode Island spinal cord stimulator lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Abbott Labs or Boston Scientific regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. However, the nerve victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
1st Circuit Spinal Cord Claims in Rhode Island
Rhode Island is part of the First 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 1st 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 Rhode Island may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a burn and infection Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order.
