We can explain how our Nevada hernia mesh lawyer can advocate for you and your family.

How Does Hernia Mesh Cause Complications?

Surgeons use implanted surgical mesh patches to close hernias, keeping nearby organs in the correct place and serving as a framework for healing tissue. However, these patches have a high risk of failure, migration, infection, and other significant complications. People could experience:

Chronic pain near the hernia site
Reherniation
Swelling and inflammation
Infection symptoms
Other serious symptoms caused by organ adhesion or migration of the patch

The treatment for hernia mesh complications often involves additional surgical procedures. These tend to be more extensive and invasive than the initial procedures, leaving the patient in more pain and causing them to miss work and other activities. Sometimes, hernia mesh complications lead to chronic pain, systemic infections, and lasting health issues.

Hernia repair is one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States, with more than one million surgical repairs each year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), most repairs utilize implanted hernia mesh patches.

How Do Hernia Mesh Lawsuits Work?

Generally, multidistrict litigation involves several phases. In your hernia mesh case, these phases will likely include:

Pre-trial motions
Discovery
Bellwether trials

This process allows the cases to move through the courts faster, preventing large backlogs in smaller state courts. Often, the defendant will make individual or global settlement offers as the MDL progresses. When plaintiffs accept these offers, it ends their cases. Most never go to trial in their original jurisdiction, although this is a possibility following the conclusion of the MDL.

Not all plaintiffs filing hernia mesh lawsuits participate in an MDL. Settlements, trials, and verdicts can also occur for plaintiffs outside of the mass tort. Working with our team can help you understand your legal options.

Client Testimonials

These guys are amazing. Helped me throughout the process. Always there when I need help. Inititailly called a law firm (the one that has lots of ads on the radio), but they declined my case. Van Law Firm accepted my case without a second thought! Kudos to Daniel, my case manager, and Amanda who expedited my payment process. Highly recommended.

Milby Mags

Got in an accident at the beginning of the year and they have been awesome, especially with it being my first accident and me being like this. They have been very communicated, stayed in contact with me the whole time, giving me updates when there were any and even when there weren’t and answered any question I had. I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone I have talked to there has been very friendly. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Ethan Gullet

They made sure that my insurance company covered what I paid for them to which included the gap for my car that was totaled. My medical costs were taken care of and reduced substantially so I was able to get more on my settlement. My case manager, Will Garcia, was always helpful in assisting me and answering any questions I had. They really did an amazing job with my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this type of legal help. Most lawyers do not help you with the recovery of the car and rental etc. They are amazing.
