Hernia Mesh Lawsuits in Melbourne, FL

If you suspect you've been injured by a defective product, it's important to seek medical attention, gather evidence, and consult with a personal injury lawyer about a hernia mesh lawsuit. Meshes made by a number of manufacturers were used to repair hernias. Some of these defective products have led to complications for patients.

Hernia mesh products were supposed to be safe medical devices. Many have failed to live up to that promise. Hernia mesh implants and mesh devices have caused severe and horrific side effects like bowel perforation, bowel obstruction, and infection. Hundreds of thousands of individuals have been hurt by dangerous hernia mesh that reached consumers over the past decades. This is despite heavy regulation by drug administrations like the FDA and advanced manufacturing techniques. Manufacturers of surgical mesh have not taken the steps necessary to make sure that hernia surgical mesh was safe for patients undergoing hernia repairs. Have you or someone you love been injured by a faulty mesh product, flawed mesh implantation, or any type of hernia surgical mesh? You should have a hernia mesh lawyer review your case today.

No cases from the class action lawsuits we are pursuing have settled yet.
