Hernia Mesh Settlement: Do You Qualify for a Lawsuit?

With hernia mesh lawsuits set to go to trial in 2020, many legal analysts are anticipating major hernia mesh settlements to be negotiated in the near future. According to a recent report, more than 8,000 hernia mesh lawsuits have been filed againt several manufacturers already.

With a major hernia mesh settlement potentially approaching, many who have been implanted with defective hernia mesh are wondering: “Can I file a hernia mesh lawsuit?”

The answer is not straightforward, but if you have suffered significant injury due to potentially defective hernia mesh, you may have a claim for compensation and be able to file a hernia mesh lawsuit.

In particular, you may qualify for a hernia mesh lawsuit and be entitled to compensation if you meet the following criteria:

• Must have had hernia mesh surgery between June 2008 and the present
• Must have received a hernia mesh implant to repair a hernia
• Must have experienced one of the following injuries or complications: abdominal infection, adhesion, hernia recurrence, intestinal blockage, mesh migration or perforation

Injuries Potentially Caused by Defective Hernia Mesh

The potential defects in hernia mesh products can cause serious injuries and other health complications, including but not limited to:

• Mesh adhesion — This occurs when scar tissue forms around the mesh, often resulting in serious health problems throughout the body
• Obstruction — Obstruction occurs when the mesh or related scar tissue causes dangerous blockages in the large or small intestines
• Fistula — This is an abnormal connection between organs, vessels or intestines, and can result in a dangerous condition called abdominal sepsis
• Heavy bleeding — Defective hernia mesh can sometimes result in bleeding in excess of what is typically expected following surgery
• Seroma — Seroma is a buildup of fluids at the site of the hernia mesh surgery
• Perforation — Perforation occurs when the defective hernia mesh results in a tear or hole in neighboring organs or tissue
• Mesh migration — This potentially dangerous condition occurs when the hernia mesh shifts in the body, and can lead to bowel obstruction
• Contraction or mesh shrinkage — Mesh shrinkage can result in hernia recurrence and abdominal pain
• Infection — Defective hernia mesh can lead to dangerous infections, potentially causing other dangerous conditions throughout the body
• Wound reopening — The wound may reopen due to defective mesh, often requiring additional surgery for repair
• Revision or repair surgery — All of the conditions and injuries above can often require revision or repair surgery, potentially resulting in further pain, inflammation and other injury

Recent research has found that as many as 5.6 percent of patients who underwent open mesh hernia repair suffered from complications, and 3.7 percent of patients who underwent laparoscopic mesh repair had complications. With more than 1 million hernia operations performed in the United States each year, thousands of patients may be affected by injuries potentially caused by defective hernia mesh.
