Hernia mesh is a medical device used to provide additional support to weakened or damaged tissue during hernia repair surgery. A hernia occurs when an organ, intestine, or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot or hole in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue, often in the abdominal wall. Hernias can be painful and may require surgical intervention to repair.
During hernia repair surgery, doctors may use hernia mesh to reinforce the weakened area and help prevent the hernia from recurring. The mesh is typically made from synthetic materials, such as polypropylene or polyester, or animal-derived materials, such as pig or cow tissue.
There are several types of hernia mesh, including:
Hernia mesh is used in various types of hernia repairs, such as inguinal (groin), femoral (upper thigh), incisional (resulting from an incision), and ventral (abdominal wall) hernias.
While hernia mesh has been widely used and can effectively reduce hernia recurrence rates, some specific mesh products have been associated with severe complications, leading to lawsuits against the manufacturers, including:
People are filing hernia mesh lawsuits because they have suffered serious complications and injuries after undergoing hernia repair surgery with certain mesh products. These lawsuits allege that some hernia mesh devices are defectively designed or manufactured, causing patients to experience severe side effects and health problems.
Common complications associated with defective hernia mesh include:
These complications can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, leading to ongoing medical treatment, additional surgeries, lost income due to missed work, and substantial pain and suffering.
Hernia mesh lawsuits seek to hold the manufacturers accountable for the alleged design defects, failure to adequately warn about risks and the physical, emotional, and financial damages caused by these products.
Many of these lawsuits have been consolidated into multidistrict litigations (MDLs) to streamline the legal process. The primary mesh products involved in these lawsuits include Atrium C-QUR, Ethicon Physiomesh, and Bard Davol Kugel Mesh, among others.Â
By filing a hernia mesh lawsuit, affected patients and their families may be able to recover compensation for their losses and hold manufacturers responsible for producing and marketing allegedly defective medical devices.
To be successful in a hernia mesh lawsuit, you must meet certain criteria. Our lawyers would like to assess your case if:
When you talk with our lawyer, you will need to have a copy of your medical records showing any previous surgeries dating back to 2004. We will be unable to assess your case and represent you if any of the following apply:

Hernia mesh can cause numerous complications due to several factors related to the devices’ design, materials, and implantation.
Some of the main reasons for these complications include:
Not all hernia mesh products are defective or prone to complications. Many patients have undergone successful hernia repair surgeries with mesh and have experienced no adverse effects.
However, for those who have suffered complications due to defective hernia mesh, the consequences can be severe and life-altering, prompting them to seek justice through hernia mesh lawsuits.
The amount of money you can receive from a hernia mesh claim varies depending on the specific circumstances of your case.
Factors that can influence the value of your settlement or award include:
In recent years, hernia mesh settlements and jury awards have ranged from tens of thousands to millions of dollars.
For example:
While these examples provide some insight, each case is unique, and we cannot guarantee a specific settlement amount.Â
Many hernia mesh lawsuits are part of larger mass tort litigations or multidistrict litigations (MDLs). In these cases, similar lawsuits are consolidated to streamline the legal process. Global settlements may be reached in MDLs, which can then be divided among the plaintiffs based on the severity of their injuries and other factors.Â
To better understand the potential value of your hernia mesh claim, it’s best to consult a knowledgeable attorney who can assess your case and provide guidance based on their experience with similar lawsuits.
Several hernia mesh products have faced recalls in recent years due to defects and safety concerns. Some notable recalls include:
These recalls highlight the potential risks of certain hernia mesh products and the importance of holding manufacturers accountable for defective devices. If you underwent hernia repair surgery and experienced complications, consult a medical professional to identify the specific type of mesh used in your procedure and whether it faced any recalls or contained any defects.Â
The deadline for filing a hernia mesh lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and depends on the date of the injury, the date you discovered the injury, or the date doctors removed the mesh.
In general, the statute of limitations for product liability cases ranges from one to six years, with most states falling within the two-to-four-year range.
However, when determining the deadline for your specific case, your lawyer will consider:
Given the complexity of these factors and the importance of meeting the filing deadline, consult a qualified hernia mesh attorney as soon as possible. An experienced attorney can explain what statute of limitations applies to your case and ensure your lawsuit is filed within the appropriate timeframe.
Even if you believe you missed the deadline, speak with an attorney. In some cases, exceptions to the statute of limitations may apply, or you may have grounds for pursuing a claim through other legal avenues. A knowledgeable hernia mesh lawyer can help you explore all of your options and protect your legal rights.
Hernia mesh complications can have devastating consequences for patients and their families. The signs and symptoms of these complications can be severe life-altering, and may require extensive medical treatment or revision surgeries. If you or a loved one experienced chronic pain, infection, hernia recurrence, or other complications following hernia repair surgery with mesh, you may recover significant compensation through a hernia mesh lawsuit.
