You May Be Entitled to Compensation If You Suffered the Following Hernia Mesh Complications
Manufacturers have a responsibility to put quality products on the market. After hernia repair with mesh, patients commonly experience adverse effects like mesh movement and shrinkage or contraction. This can be attributed to a defective product.
Recalls by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) occur when there is a reasonable possibility that using a defective product will cause serious harmful health consequences or even death. Many complications related to hernia repair with surgical mesh have been reported to the FDA. These reports are associated with defective or recalled mesh products no longer on the market.
The main cause of bowel perforation and obstruction complications is recalled mesh products. The most common complications associated with a recalled mesh include:
- Pain
- Infection
- Recurrence
- Adhesion
- Bowel obstruction
- Perforation
It is important for you to contact your surgeon as soon as possible if you have had a surgical mesh implant and are experiencing any issues with it. If you are suffering complications, it is important for you to speak to a personal injury lawyer.

Different Types of Compensation You Can Recover in a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit
Defective products can cause any number of injuries, from the inconvenient to the debilitating. If you suffered complications or an injury as a result of a defective mesh implant, you can expect compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. The severity of your injuries and how they impacted your life will be major factors in determining how much you can get from a hernia mesh lawsuit. The types of damages you can recover include:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Past and current lost wages
- Future lost earning potential
- Pain and suffering (related to physical pain from the injury like aches and pains, discomfort, scarring, and limitations on normal activity)
- Loss of companionship (when one spouse can no longer receive the love, comfort and other normal family relationships due to their partner’s injury)
- Loss of enjoyment (when you are no longer able to participate in things you once enjoyed, like sports or hobbies)
- Mental anguish (when conditions like distress, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and trauma manifest)

Each State Has Different Lawsuit Deadlines
Delaying may cost you your ability to pursue compensation for your losses. Every state has specific statutes of limitations or deadlines for filing an injury related lawsuit. A legal team can advise you on how your state’s deadline applies to complications from hernia mesh implants, especially when infection, mesh failure, and other problems do not manifest until months or even years after the surgery. If you miss the deadline, you can lose your right to sue and get compensation for your losses.
