Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Criteria
If you or a loved one has experienced complications or device failures from a hernia mesh implant, you may be eligible for compensation.
Hernia mesh lawsuits allege that these medical devices are defectively designed, leading to serious adverse complications and the need for additional surgeries. The manufacturers have been accused of failing to adequately warn medical providers about these risks.
Eligibility Criteria
To determine eligibility for a hernia mesh lawsuit, consider the following criteria:
- Initial Implant Date: The initial mesh implantation surgery must have occurred in 2010 or later.
- Revision and/or Explant Case: Individuals who have undergone revision surgery or mesh explantation due to complications are eligible.
- Medical Records: If medical records demonstrate a less severe injury caused by a qualifying mesh product, and there is proof of the mesh leading to the injury, the case will be evaluated.
- Manufacturers: The lawsuits encompass mesh products manufactured by Bard (Davol, Becton Dickinson) and Covidien (Medtronic, Tyco & U.S. Surgical).
Complications Associated with Hernia Mesh
Many hernia mesh devices use materials that can shrink, contract, harden, migrate, or fail over time. These complications can lead to nerve damage, bowel damage, and the need for further surgical interventions.
