Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Overview
Hernias affect millions of Americans yearly. While some people may not experience symptoms, others suffer from severe pain and discomfort.
In most cases, doctors recommend surgery to repair the hernia using a medical device called a hernia mesh implant.
Some of these meshes have been found to cause serious complications and even lead to additional surgeries.
Hernia mesh lawsuits have been on the rise as more patients report severe complications from their hernia mesh implants.
These lawsuits typically involve claims of defective design, manufacturing defects, and inadequate warnings about the associated risks.
For those affected, these complications can lead to chronic pain, infections, and even the need for additional surgeries.
Understanding whether you qualify for a hernia mesh lawsuit is essential for seeking justice and compensation.
Our hernia mesh lawyers at TorHoerman Law are dedicated to helping individuals harmed by faulty medical devices.

A hernia may form when an organ or a fatty tissue pokes or squeezes through a weak area or opening in the nearby connective tissue or muscle, usually at the abdominal wall. Hernias can range from visible bulges to hidden internal ones.
The different types of hernias include:
Inguinal Hernia: Occurs in the groin area and is most common in men
Femoral Hernia: Similar to inguinal hernias, but occurs just below the groin in the upper thigh
Umbilical Hernia: Appears near the belly button and can happen in infants or adults
Incisional Hernia: Develops in the scar from a previous abdominal surgery
Hiatal Hernia: Occurs when part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest
Perineal Hernia: Affects the pelvic area and is relatively rare
Hernias often result from strain or pressure on the affected area, such as:
Lifting heavy objects
Obesity
Injury
Childbirth
Constipation
Constant coughing or sneezing
While most hernias are not life-threatening, they can get worse over time, causing severe discomfort and affecting daily activities.
Keeping the hernia flat with a support belt or truss can help in some cases.
Hernia surgery is necessary to repair the hernia and alleviate symptoms.
During a hernia repair surgery, the surgeon puts the damaged muscles and tissues back in place and uses a hernia mesh implant to support the weakened area.
Hernia mesh products have been used since 1958 to prevent recurrence and provide better support for the repaired tissue.
These surgical mesh devices are usually made from synthetic materials or animal tissue.
While a hernia mesh surgery is a standard procedure, many patients have reported severe complications and side effects from their hernia mesh implants.
This alarming trend has led to a surge in lawsuits against hernia mesh manufacturers.
Common claims in these lawsuits includes:
Defective design
Manufacturing defects
Inadequate warnings
Defective Design
In most hernia mesh claims, the design of the hernia mesh is inherently flawed.
This allegation means that the device’s design is not suitable for its intended use, and using it can lead to complications and side effects.
Complications like mesh migration, organ perforation, and infections can occur due to the shape, size, or material used in creating the hernia mesh implant.
Manufacturing Defects
Errors made during the manufacturing process can result in defective hernia mesh products being released to the market.
These defects may include issues like contamination, wrong materials used, or incorrect sizing.
These manufacturing defects can lead to severe complications and additional surgeries for the patients who receive these faulty products.
Inadequate Warnings
Another common allegation in hernia mesh lawsuits concerns the failure to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers about the risks associated with hernia mesh implants.
Patients have the right to know all potential side effects and complications associated with any medical device before undergoing surgery.
When manufacturers fail to disclose this information, they can be held liable for any harm caused to patients.
If you have suffered from complications due to a hernia mesh implant, several factors will determine your eligibility to pursue a hernia mesh claim.
These include the type of injury, the specific hernia mesh product used, the onset of complications, and the timing of the surgery.
Type of Injury
The type of injury sustained from the hernia mesh implant is a critical factor in qualifying for a lawsuit.
Common injuries linked to hernia mesh complications include:
Chronic Pain
Infection
Adhesion
Hernia Recurrence
Bleeding
Obstruction
Fistula or abnormal connections between organs or tissues
Seroma or fluid buildup
Organ Perforation
Mesh Contraction
Mesh Migration
Having documented medical records that link these complications directly to the hernia mesh implant is crucial for building a strong case.
These records should show the injury sustained and its impact on your health and quality of life.
Specific Hernia Mesh Product
Certain hernia mesh products have been more frequently named in lawsuits due to their higher rates of complications.
Some of the hernia mesh products and manufacturers currently under scrutiny include:
Bard hernia mesh
Covidien hernia mesh
Atrium hernia mesh
Ethicon hernia mesh

Ethicon Hernia Mesh
Ethicon Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, is facing over 200 lawsuits for their Physiomesh mesh products.
U.S. District Judge Richard W. Story manages the MDL in the U.S. District Court Northern District of Georgia.
Timing of the Surgery and Complications
The timing of the hernia mesh surgery and the onset of complications also play a vital role in determining eligibility for a lawsuit.
Key factors include:
Date of Surgery: The date when the hernia mesh was implanted can affect whether the case falls within the statute of limitations.
Onset of Complications: How soon after the surgery complications begin to manifest can determine the strength of a case and its link to the hernia mesh implant.
Statutes of Limitations: Legal time limits for filing a lawsuit vary by state and specific circumstances of the case. It’s crucial to act promptly to ensure your case is filed within the allowable time frame.
Hernia mesh attorneys play a vital role in helping potential claimants navigate the complex legal landscape and build a strong case.
They have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the legal process, from filing a claim to negotiating a settlement.
Case Evaluation
An experienced hernia mesh lawyer begins by thoroughly evaluating potential claims.
This process involves reviewing your medical history, the type of hernia mesh used, the symptoms experienced, and other relevant factors.
A comprehensive evaluation helps determine the lawsuit’s viability and the best course of action.
Gathering Evidence
Building a strong hernia mesh case requires gathering comprehensive documentation and evidence.
A hernia mesh attorney may need to obtain the following documents:
Medical Records: Detailed medical records linking the complications to the hernia mesh implant are critical in building a compelling case. These include surgical reports, imaging studies, and other relevant medical documentation.
Product Information: Gathering information on the specific type of hernia mesh used, its design, and any known associated complications can strengthen the claim.
Expert Opinions: Opinions from medical experts who can testify about the link between the hernia mesh and the complications sustained can significantly impact the outcome of a case. Medical experts can also provide evidence of the manufacturer’s negligence or failure to warn about potential risks.
Other Documentation: Any additional documents that support the claim can also be helpful. These include photos, medical bills, personal testimonies, insurance paperwork, or correspondence with the manufacturer.
Legal Representation
Hernia mesh attorneys provide essential legal representation during the hernia mesh litigation.
Legal representation can include:
Negotiating With Manufacturers and Insurers: Lawyers deal with the hernia mesh manufacturers and insurers to seek fair compensation for the claimants. Big corporations often have teams of lawyers representing their interests, so having a skilled attorney on your side can help level the playing field.
Representing in Court: If a fair hernia mesh settlement is not reached, your attorney can represent you in court and present your case to a jury. During the hernia mesh trial process, they can call upon expert witnesses, cross-examine the defendant’s witnesses, and present evidence to support your claim.
Seeking Compensation: The hernia mesh lawsuit settlement varies from case to case, with more severe complications typically resulting in higher compensation. Your lawyer will work to secure appropriate compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the hernia mesh complications.
If you or a loved one has suffered complications after a hernia mesh surgery, it’s crucial to seek legal help as soon as possible.
