HAVE YOU OR A LOVED ONE UNDERGONE HERNIA MESH SURGERY SINCE 2006?
Since the surgery, have you suffered from chronic pain, infections, bowel obstructions, adhesions, mesh failure or shifting, and/or additional hernias, or had to undergo hernia revision surgery? IF SO, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO SUBSTANTIAL COMPENSATION.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), more than 1 million hernia repair surgeries are performed each year on patients with painful protruding organs. These patients typically sustain these hernias when their intestines poke through a thin part of the abdominal wall, causing pain, swelling, and infections. Often surgeons use a hernia mesh to patch the opening and secure the organs back in place to prevent further damage. Unfortunately, this process has shown failure in more than 30% of patients, causing more pain, health complications, and the need for more expensive surgeries and hospital stays.
Companies have recalled hernia mesh to avoid further problems, but the pain and additional costs of these surgeries have left many patients suffering. Recalled products include Ethicon Physiomesh and Proceed, Atrium C-QUR, PreFix, 3DS Max, Sepremesh, and C.R. Bard Kugel. If you were treated with one of these meshes, you may be owed compensation. Patients who were treated with hernia mesh that was not recalled and still faced complications can also be compensated for their injuries. Previous lawsuits against these companies have shown mass negligence in these manufacturers’ care and maintenance, and victims have been awarded multimillion-dollar settlements as a result.
