Frequently Asked Questions

Do you represent hernia mesh victims in my state?
Yes. Right now we are taking cases from hernia mesh victims in all 50 states. When you file a hernia mesh lawsuit, the case will be sent to a specific federal or state court designated to handle these lawsuits. Most likely that court will be outside your state of residence. This is one reason why you should hire an experienced mesh attorney, not just a local injury attorney.
How long does a hernia mesh lawsuit take?
There are tens of thousands of hernia mesh lawsuits filed in state and federal courts throughout the United States. Due to the number of lawsuits, the courts have set up special procedures in certain federal and state courts to handle all of these lawsuits. Because they are coordinated in this manner and treated as complex, nationwide litigation, the lawsuits may take years to resolve. But an experienced mesh attorney may have strategies to speed up the process.
What is the time limit or statute of limitations to file a hernia mesh lawsuit?
Many factors can impact the amount of time you have to file a hernia mesh lawsuit. These factors can include the type of claims alleged, where the case is filed, and the state where the injury occurred. Also, the facts of your case can shorten or extend these time limits. Because so many factors can affect the amount of time you have to file, it is very important to talk to an experienced mesh attorney as soon as possible.
What is the average settlement for a hernia mesh lawsuit?
Nearly all personal injury settlements are confidential. But we can estimate settlement values from our experience and prior settlements and verdicts, after hearing the facts of your case. The scope of your injuries, including revision and removal surgeries will be a primary factor in determining the value of your case. Do not trust any dollar amounts you may see online.
Is there a recall on hernia mesh?
Yes and no. There are many manufacturers of hernia mesh implants and each manufacturer can have more than one type of hernia mesh implant. The FDA and some manufacturers have issued recalls for certain types of hernia mesh implants for various reasons. Other hernia mesh implants have not been recalled. While a recall may help your case, it does not determine whether you have a case. Recall or not, if your hernia mesh is causing you pain and complications, please speak to a mesh attorney.
