Eligibility Criteria for Filing a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit
To qualify for a hernia mesh lawsuit:
Underwent original hernia repair surgery with mesh on or after Jan. 1, 2006.
Experienced significant injuries such as adhesions, hernia recurrence, intestinal blockage, mesh migration, organ perforation, or infection occurring over 30 days post-surgery.
Required hernia revision or additional surgery due to complications.
Already scheduled for extra surgery due to complications.
Received advice from a surgeon for additional surgery for complications.
Advised to undergo surgery for complications but unable to do so due to medical reasons.
If you have undergone hernia mesh surgery and faced serious complications, you may be eligible to pursue a hernia mesh case, particularly if the mesh was manufactured by Ethicon, Atrium, or Bard Davol.
To ensure the timely filing of your lawsuit, it is crucial to promptly consult with an attorney. Each state has its statute of limitations, and missing the deadline may prevent you from initiating legal action.
Specific eligibility requirements vary based on the patient and the legal firm handling the case.
