What Hernia Mesh Defects Have Happened?

Hernias happen when an organ pushes through a gap in an adjacent soft tissue layer. The most common hernia involves an intestine becoming pinched by abdominal muscles, but other types of hernias are possible. In most cases involving a hernia, it is caused by another injury or a surgical complication.

A hernia mesh device is surgically implanted to prevent hernias from occurring or reoccurring. Defective hernia mesh devices can fail in one of many ways, resulting in severe pain and potentially dangerous complications.

When a hernia mesh device fails due to a defect, it can cause:

• Tissue adhesion
• Bowel obstruction or perforation
• Hernia recurrence
• Mesh migration
• Severe infection
• Chronic pain

To correct a hernia mesh device failure, corrective surgery is usually the only option. Any time a patient must go into surgery, there are risks to their health. As such, a hernia mesh device defect can technically bring a host of other health risks through surgery complications.

Who is Eligible to File a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?

There are many different hernia mesh devices on the market and used in medical centers across the country. Our Gainesville hernia mesh lawsuit attorneys can investigate claims involving all sorts of these devices and their various failures. You could have a case even if your hernia mesh device was not recalled but still became defective due to a product error.

You could be eligible to file a hernia mesh lawsuit if:

• You had laparoscopic hernia repair surgery, and a hernia mesh device was used in the procedure.
• You experienced side effects or injuries caused by the hernia mesh device.
• You needed revision surgery or have revision surgery scheduled due to the side effects.
• You have suffered damages due to the failed hernia mesh device, like medical costs, pain, and suffering.

Hernia Mesh Device Lawsuit Compensation

Through a claim filed by our attorneys, you can pursue compensation owed by the hernia mesh device manufacturer. In some cases, you might also be able to name the medical provider who installed the hernia mesh as a defendant if they knew or should have known about the device’s risks or history of failures.

The compensation available in your hernia mesh device lawsuit could help pay for:

• Past medical expenses
