Bringing a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit:
When a patient receives a medical diagnosis indicating that their hernia mesh implant has failed, they may have grounds to pursue financial compensation from the manufacturer or healthcare provider involved in the procedure. A malfunctioning hernia mesh can lead to various health problems, complications, or may result from an improper implantation by a surgeon. Depending on the specifics of the case and the defendant being sued, the hernia mesh lawsuit will likely join an existing Multi-District Litigation (MDL) and be brought to federal court for litigation.
Hernia Mesh Complications
Complications resulting from a malfunctioning hernia mesh that can lead to a lawsuit include infections, pain caused by scar tissue, inflammation, nerve damage, or mesh shrinkage, adhesion (when the mesh sticks to other organs or tissues), bowel obstruction, bulging, internal bleeding, fistula (abnormal bonding of body parts), seroma (fluid buildup), perforation of organs or tissues, migration of the mesh, nerve damage, and hernia recurrence.
In many cases, revision surgery is required to repair the damage caused by the hernia mesh and to replace the defective implant.
Hernia Mesh Class Action Lawsuit
If the facts and defendant of a hernia mesh case align with an existing larger lawsuit or MDL that has not yet gone to trial, the case may be combined with other similar claims. Multi-District Litigations (MDLs) and Multi-County Litigations (MCLs) allow plaintiffs with relevant claims to join collective litigation efforts, streamlining the pre-trial procedures and potentially expediting the settlement process. It’s important to note that most hernia mesh settlements are individual, meaning each plaintiff argues their case separately, but the process of settling can be collective.
