Minnesota Ocaliva lawsuits claim this Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) medication increased the risk of liver damage. Organ failure, liver transplants, and pre-mature death have been blamed on this harmful medication. (See our Minnesota Ocaliva News)
As such, our Minnesota Ocaliva lawyers are filing liver damage lawsuits for cirrhosis victims.
Minnesota Ocaliva Lawyers Advocate for Liver Cirrhosis Victims
Our team of Minnesota Ocaliva attorneys has represented thousands of victims of dangerous pharmaceutical products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue Ocaliva compensation from medication manufacturers, not from our clients’ doctors or caregivers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified PBC patients, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Minnesota Ocaliva attorneys can make for liver compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. Follow this link for our latest information on Ocaliva multi-district litigation (MDL).
Our Minnesota Ocaliva lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm use of Ocaliva and diagnosis of a related liver injury. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

Minnesota Liver Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
MN Ocaliva lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Minnesota, and 2) the severity of liver damage.
Minnesota State Ocaliva Claims
When all parties reside in Minnesota, Ocaliva lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (MN Courts Website). The Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for organ failure claims.
The State of Minnesota follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Minnesota Ocaliva lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Intercept Pharmaceuticals and Alfasigma Group provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the cirrhosis victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
8th Circuit Ocaliva Claims in Minnesota
Minnesota is part of the Eighth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual Ocaliva lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Cirrhosis appeals are heard by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the injuries are severe, Ocaliva claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal Ocaliva lawsuits filed in Minnesota may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a liver damage Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 8th Circuit Ocaliva compensation.)
