Have you experienced complications after hernia mesh surgery? You may be eligible for compensation.

What is a Hernia? A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle. Hernias are caused by pressure on the abdomen from activities like lifting, coughing, or pregnancy, as well as muscle weakness due to poor nutrition, smoking, or previous surgery.

Hernia Mesh Complications: Hernia mesh implants were designed to fix hernias, but many have caused serious health issues, including:

• Chronic pain
• Infections
• Mesh movement (migration)
• Bowel blockages
• Organ perforation
• Hernia recurrence

Some patients have needed additional surgeries due to these complications.

Companies Being Sued

Hernia mesh manufacturers are facing lawsuits for defective products, including:

• Atrium
• Covidien (Medtronic)
• C.R. Bard & Davol (BD)
• Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)

These lawsuits claim the mesh was defectively designed, not properly tested, or failed to include warnings about potential risks.

How to Qualify for a Lawsuit

You may qualify for a hernia mesh lawsuit if:
