hernia mesh issues

Hernia mesh litigation involves legal claims filed against surgical mesh manufacturers by people who suffered serious injuries after their mesh implants failed. The largest hernia mesh lawsuit settlement amount to date is $184 million paid by C.R. Bard to settle roughly 3,000 cases in 2011. 

Patients are suing manufacturers for compensation for damages, including lost wages, medical bills, loss of quality of life and pain and suffering. 

These lawsuits include claims for:

• Defective product design
• Defective product manufacturing
• Improper product labeling, failing to warn patients and doctors about the risk of mesh failure complications
• Malpractice committed by doctors who implanted faulty mesh

As of 2022, there were over 24,000 lawsuits pending against Ethicon, Atrium Medical Corp. and Davol Inc./C.R. Bard in federal courts in Georgia, New Hampshire and Ohio. Hundreds more are pending in state courts across the country. 

We are representing individuals in Buffalo and upstate New York in these lawsuits.
