To evaluate whether you have an IVC filter claim, attorneys review: (1) which filter was implanted (Bard Recovery, G2, G2X, Eclipse, Meridian, Denali; or Cook Günther Tulip or Celect); (2) imaging evidence showing fracture, strut separation, or migration; (3) medical records documenting complications, treatment, or retrieval attempts; and (4) whether your claim falls within the applicable statute of limitations or an MDL toll.

Qualifying injuries include: documented device fracture on imaging; one or more struts migrated from the original filter position; cardiac perforation requiring pericardiocentesis or cardiac surgery; organ perforation (duodenum, aorta, ureter, spine); pulmonary embolism attributed to filter malfunction; DVT caused by filter thrombosis; filter tilt with documented loss of function; and high-risk or impossible retrieval requiring open surgery. Asymptomatic fracture with imaging documentation may also qualify — Contact a qualified attorney even if you currently feel fine.
