Helping people injured by hernia mesh seek compensation for over a decade.
Pay nothing unless you win.
Living with hernia mesh complications can be painful, frustrating, and exhausting. What was supposed to fix your hernia has left you facing new problems, wondering what went wrong and whether you can still seek compensation.
You’re not alone. For over a decade, we’ve helped hernia mesh patients nationwide who have faced lasting pain, additional surgeries, and uncertainty about their future. Many did not know whether their complications could be the basis for a legal claim.
We are still accepting claims involving Covidien hernia mesh, including Parietex mesh implants. We are also reviewing select Bard claims involving severe injuries.
If you’ve had persistent pain, infections, or additional surgery after your hernia repair, we can review your situation and help you understand whether you may have a claim. Your case review is free, with no obligation to proceed.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Hernia Mesh Complications You Might be Experiencing
Many people don’t immediately connect their symptoms to their hernia mesh. Understanding what complications can look like helps you make informed decisions about your health and legal options.
Common Complications
- Chronic Pain that doesn’t improve with time
- Infections that may develop months or even years after surgery
- Mesh Migration where the device moves from its original position
- Adhesions causing tissues to stick together abnormally
- Bowel Obstruction or Perforation requiring emergency intervention
- Mesh Failure requiring revision surgery
- Inflammatory Response to the mesh material
- Recurrence of the original hernia
These complications often require additional surgeries, extensive medical treatment, time away from work, and can significantly impact your quality of life.
It’s important to note that not all hernia mesh products cause problems. The vast majority of patients have successful outcomes. However, certain products, including some manufactured by Covidien and other companies, have been linked in lawsuits to higher rates of complications.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues after a hernia repair with mesh, talking to both a medical professional and a legal expert who understands these claims is an important next step.
Current Status of the Hernia Mesh Lawsuits
The landscape of hernia mesh litigation has changed significantly over the past few years:
Covidien Hernia Mesh Cases
Lawsuits involving Covidien’s Parietex, Symbotex and ProGrip mesh products are still actively moving forward. If you had a Covidien mesh implanted and experienced complications, now is a critical time to have your claim evaluated. In August 2026, the first bellwether trial, involving Symbotex mesh, ended in an $88 million jury verdict against Covidien. The next trial is scheduled for January 2027, and a ProGrip bellwether trial is set for March 2027. Read our latest Covidien hernia mesh lawsuit update.
Bard Hernia Mesh Cases
C.R. Bard announced an agreement in October 2024 to resolve the vast majority of its hernia mesh lawsuits. The Bard MDL is still open and new cases can still be filed there, but because of the global settlement, new cases must meet newer and more demanding filing procedures. For that reason, we are reviewing select Bard claims with severe injuries, such as multiple revision surgeries, extended hospitalization or bowel damage. Bard products include Ventralex and Ventralight ST, 3DMax, PerFix Plug, Composix and Kugel and Sepramesh. Read our latest Bard hernia mesh lawsuit update.
Other Manufacturer Cases
Other major manufacturers, including Ethicon and Atrium, have reached settlements for many of their cases.
What This Means For You
If you’ve suffered complications from hernia mesh, particularly Covidien or Bard products, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses for additional treatments and surgeries
- Loss of consortium (the impact on your marriage)
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced quality of life
Every claim is unique, and the potential compensation depends on various factors including the severity of your complications, the impact on your life, and the specific product involved.

Over a decade of hernia mesh claims has taught us that the full extent of a mesh injury is often buried in the medical records: a later surgery, a hospitalization or a new diagnosis that no one tied back to the original implant.

Most importantly, you pay nothing unless we win your claim. Our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery, so there’s no financial risk to you.
Common Questions
How do I know if my hernia mesh is causing my symptoms?
Persistent pain, infections, bowel issues, or the need for revision surgery after a hernia repair may indicate mesh-related complications. A healthcare provider can help determine if your symptoms are related to your mesh, and in most instances, your medical records will indicate whether your hernia mesh failed or required an “explant” (removal).
What does it cost to hire your firm?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.
What if I don’t know what brand of mesh I received?
Don’t worry – we can help obtain your medical records to identify the specific product used in your surgery. All we need to get started is information about when and where your surgery took place.
Does it matter what type of hernia mesh I received?
Yes. Different mesh products have different designs and materials, and some have shown higher rates of complications. Covidien and Bard claims are our main focus.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Each state has different deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing claims, ranging from as little as one year to as long as six years, often measured from when you discovered your injury was mesh-related. It’s critical to have your claim evaluated as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.
Will I need to go to court?
Most hernia mesh claims resolve through settlements without clients ever needing to appear in court. However, we prepare every claim as if it will go to trial to ensure we’re in the strongest possible position.
