Who Qualifies for a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?
To qualify for a hernia mesh lawsuit, you must have experienced severe complications from mesh named in lawsuits. You must also file your claim within the statute of limitations.
“The people that are eligible for filing a hernia mesh claim would be folks who have had complications after a hernia mesh surgery,” Hernia mesh attorney Daniel Nigh told ConsumerNotice. “So, for example, if you’ve had or if you’re scheduled for a revision surgery or you’ve had a revision of your hernia mesh, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible.”
You may qualify for a lawsuit if:
- You had hernia repair surgery with mesh on or after January 1, 2013.
- You experienced severe injuries, including adhesions, hernia recurrence, intestinal blockage, mesh migration, organ perforation or infection more than 30 days from the original surgery date.
- You required hernia revision surgery or additional surgery because of complications.
An experienced medical injury lawyer can help you determine your lawsuit eligibility. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better your chance of achieving a settlement.
Complications Listed in Hernia Mesh Lawsuits
People who filed lawsuits suffered severe hernia mesh complications that required additional surgery. Mesh failure happens when the implant leads to problems. These can include hernia recurrence or pain, which may require removing the mesh.
Complications named in lawsuits include:
- Adhesion: Hernia mesh sticks to tissue or other organs.
- Bowel Obstruction: Hernia mesh sticks to the intestines or moves, blocking the bowel.
- Groin or Testicular Pain: Pinched nerves lead to a burning sensation at the surgery site.
- Hernia Recurrence: Mesh failure to prevent hernias from recurring is a common complication.
- Infection: Chronic inflammation around the hernia mesh can lead to infection.
- Migration: Hernia mesh moves from the surgery site to other parts of the body.
- Pain: Chronic pain may lead to nerve damage or chronic inflammation.
- Perforation of Organs or Tissues: Other body parts can be punctured when mesh migrates.
- Seromas: Pockets of fluid build up around the surgery site.
- Revision Surgery: Patients may need one or more surgeries to remove faulty hernia mesh.
