Hernia mesh is a medical device used to support damaged or weakened abdominal muscles and tissues. Although hernia mesh has been in use for decades, patients are increasingly coming forward with complaints about complications and adverse effects, including tissue adhesion, organ perforation, and infection.
Many affected individuals have sued hernia mesh manufacturers for design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn of the potential risks of hernia mesh. If you experienced illness or injury due to a defective hernia mesh implant, you may qualify to sue the manufacturer for compensation. The Goldwater Law Firm can connect you with a hernia mesh lawyer in your area who can help you pursue financial compensation for your losses.

Defective Hernia Mesh Can Create Significant Health Issues
Hernia mesh manufacturers face numerous lawsuits from patients who experienced health issues after using mesh products. If you suffered any of the following complications following hernia mesh implantation, you could seek compensation:
- Hernia recurrence
- Tissue adhesion and scar tissue
- Fluid buildup (seroma) around the mesh
- Bowel obstruction
- Fistulas
- Organ and tissue perforation
- Infection
- Pain and discomfort
- Mesh migration or contraction
Victims of hernia mesh complications may suffer even after the mesh has been removed.
Hernia Mesh Settlements and Judgments
It’s hard to determine the average settlement for a hernia mesh lawsuit as everyone’s injuries and losses are unique. To date, hernia mesh lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson, C.R. Bard, Boston Scientific, and Endo International have resulted in settlements from $250,000 up to several million.
The worth of your hernia mesh claim depends on several factors, including:
- Whether the device has been recalled or pulled from the market
- Extent and severity of your injuries
- Additional medical treatment, surgery, medication, and other care
- How your quality of life was affected by your hernia mesh injuries
- How your income was affected by hernia mesh complications
Although there is no way to predict the outcome of a hernia mesh lawsuit, you can rely on our co-counsel to aim for the compensation you need. You deserve dedicated legal representatives who will fight for the full scope of your damages against even the most aggressive corporations.
The Goldwater Law Firm’s law firm partners can help you understand which damages you may be owed following a hernia mesh injury. Reach out today to be put in contact with a hernia mesh attorney.
Damages You Could Recover in a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit
When you suffer injuries due to hernia mesh, the consequences can be far-reaching. You may have to undergo multiple surgeries and treatments. While you receive medical care for mesh complications, you may miss work and lose income. In severe cases, you may be unable to return to regular activities due to debilitating hernia mesh complications.
You should not have to pay for these expenses while the hernia mesh manufacturer gets away without any consequences. The Goldwater Law Firm partners with successful law firms across the U.S. Our law firm partners are dedicated to helping you pursue justice and fair compensation for your losses. Damages they could help you recover include:
- Lost income, including business income, lost wages, reduced hours, and lower income potential due to hernia mesh injuries
- Out-of-pocket expenses, including domestic help, childcare, and transportation to and from doctor’s appointments
- Medical expenses, including additional surgeries, hospital stays, medication, medical devices, physical therapy, and in-home care
- Pain and suffering, including mental, emotional, and physical distress caused by your hernia mesh complications
We know that you are angry and frustrated after suffering hernia mesh complications. The Goldwater Law Firm’s dedicated law firm partners are here to help you through the legal process so you can focus on recovering from your injuries.
Understanding Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Eligibility
To file a lawsuit against a hernia mesh manufacturer, you must typically prove that you received a hernia mesh implant on or after January 1, 2010. You must also show that you suffered serious complications that required a revision or removal surgery.
Hernia mesh lawsuits are complicated and often involve many plaintiffs. Large companies will usually fight product liability claims to safeguard their money and reputation, especially when there are many plaintiffs. You, therefore, benefit from working with a personal injury attorney who focuses on mass torts and hernia mesh claims.
