What Are Hernia Mesh Cases?

Understanding Defective Hernia Mesh Injuries

The León Law Firm knows how to handle tough defective medical device cases involving hernia mesh complications. Hernia mesh lawyers focus on proving that defective mesh products caused serious complications and holding device manufacturers accountable for making dangerous products. These cases differ from regular medical malpractice because they involve defective products, not doctor errors. You may have claims against mesh manufacturers like Ethicon, Bard, Atrium, and others. Our lawyers fully understand these challenging cases. Learn more about Hernia Mesh Resources for complete information on your rights as a hernia mesh victim.

Our Hernia Mesh Legal Services

The León Law Firm provides comprehensive legal services for people who have suffered complications from defective hernia mesh:

Mesh Failure and Revision Surgery Claims

Defective hernia mesh can break, shrink, migrate, or fail to properly integrate with your body tissue. When mesh fails, patients often need dangerous revision surgeries to remove or replace the failed mesh. These revision surgeries are much more complex and risky than the original hernia repair. We help patients who need revision surgery because their mesh failed. We prove the mesh was defective and hold manufacturers accountable for making products that don’t work as promised.

Infection and Chronic Pain Cases

Hernia mesh can cause serious infections, chronic pain, and other complications that make life miserable for patients. Some mesh products are more likely to cause infections due to their design or materials. Chronic pain from mesh can last for years and prevent patients from working or enjoying life. We help patients suffering from mesh-related infections, chronic pain, and other complications get compensation for their ongoing medical needs and pain and suffering.

Mesh Manufacturer Liability Claims

Companies like Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson), Bard, Atrium, and others manufacture hernia mesh products. These companies have a duty to design safe products and warn doctors about all risks. When they make defective mesh or fail to warn about serious complications, patients get hurt. We hold mesh manufacturers accountable for designing dangerous products, failing to test them properly, and not warning doctors about serious risks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hernia Mesh

Our skilled legal team answers common questions about hernia mesh complication cases:

Understanding Hernia Mesh Problems

What are the most common hernia mesh complications?

Common complications include mesh migration (moving from where it was placed), mesh shrinkage, chronic pain, infections, bowel obstructions, mesh erosion into organs, and adhesions. Some patients also experience mesh rejection, where the body tries to reject the foreign material. Many of these complications require dangerous revision surgeries to fix.

How do I know if my hernia mesh is defective?

Signs of mesh problems include chronic pain that doesn’t go away, infections that keep coming back, bulging or swelling near the mesh site, bowel problems, and recurrence of your original hernia. If you’re having ongoing problems after hernia surgery, your mesh may be defective. We can help you get medical records and expert opinions to determine if your mesh caused your problems.

What's the difference between mesh complications and surgical malpractice?

Mesh complications are usually caused by defective products, not doctor errors. Even when surgeons place mesh correctly, defective mesh can still cause serious problems. We focus on product defects, not surgical errors. If your mesh was defective, you can sue the manufacturer even if your surgeon did everything right.

Legal Process and Evidence

How long do I have to file a hernia mesh lawsuit?

Time limits vary by state, but most personal injury cases have a two- to three-year deadline from when you discovered or should have discovered that defective mesh caused your complications. Don’t wait to contact a lawyer because important evidence can be lost over time, and revision surgeries may alter the evidence.

What evidence do you need for my hernia mesh case?

We need your medical records from all hernia surgeries, records showing your complications, and information about what type of mesh was used. We can help you get surgical reports, pathology reports, and mesh product information. Photos of the removed mesh and expert medical opinions are also important evidence.

Are hernia mesh cases part of larger lawsuits?

Many hernia mesh cases are handled in Multi-District Litigation (MDL), where similar cases are grouped together for pretrial proceedings. This helps speed up the legal process and share discovery costs. However, each case is still resolved individually based on your specific injuries and damages.

What if the mesh manufacturer says their product is safe?

Mesh manufacturers always claim their products are safe, even when there’s evidence of serious problems. We examine internal company documents, FDA reports, medical studies, and other evidence that shows the actual risks. Many times, companies know about serious complications but hide this information from doctors and patients. We use their own documents against them.

Types of Injuries and Compensation

What types of compensation can I get for hernia mesh complications?

You can get compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care needs. Mesh complications often require expensive revision surgeries and ongoing treatment. If mesh complications caused permanent injuries or disabilities, you may get compensation for lost earning capacity and lifelong care needs.

How much compensation can I get for my hernia mesh case?

The amount depends on the severity of your complications, your medical costs, lost wages, and how mesh problems affected your life. Cases requiring revision surgery and causing permanent complications typically result in higher settlements. We fight for full compensation for all your damages, including future medical needs.

What if I had multiple hernia surgeries with different mesh products?

You may be able to sue multiple mesh manufacturers if different defective products caused your complications. We investigate all the mesh products used in your surgeries and determine which ones caused problems. Each defective product may result in a separate claim against different manufacturers.
