HERNIA MESH
Product Liability Lawyers Assisting Residents of Jackson and Surrounding Areas
Hernia mesh is a type of medical device that is used to provide a patch for hernias. The patch is placed over the hernia during a surgical procedure. The patches can be made from a wide variety of materials, including animal tissue or other synthetic substances. These products are advertised as being easily accepted by the body, but in recent years, several device manufacturers have needed to initiate recalls of their hernia mesh devices, due to the widespread development of dangerous side effects and unintended symptoms. As knowledgeable Jackson hernia mesh lawyers, the attorneys at Coxwell & Associates can counsel victims and their families about their rights following a painful surgical revision procedure. It can seem daunting to bring a product liability claim against the company that manufactured the device that caused your injuries and losses. We will stand by you through each step of the process and help you pursue the settlement or the judgment that you deserve.
Types of Hernia Mesh and Common Adverse Side Effects
There are several different brands of hernia mesh that have been involved in recalls and widespread product liability litigation. Some hernia mesh products that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recalled specifically include the Kugel Hernia Patch, Proceed hernia mesh, Physiomesh by Johnson & Johnson, and C-QUR Surgical Mesh. There are many different complications that can arise when it comes to a hernia mesh device. One of the most common complications is the unintended migration of the mesh from the site of the implant to elsewhere in the body. Some of the symptoms that may indicate a complication include internal bleeding, hernia recurrence, severe pain in the abdominal region, infections, intestinal blockages, liver failure, and high fever. These symptoms may not manifest immediately after the surgery, with some cases showing symptoms as long as five years after the original implantation.
Legal Claims Based on Hernia Mesh Injuries
There are many different legal claims that a hernia mesh attorney at our Jackson firm can help you assert against a product maker to pursue compensation for the injuries that you sustained as a result of using the device. The most common theory of liability is called product liability. This is a strict liability standard that simply requires the plaintiff to show that there was some type of defect associated with the product.
