Many Florida patients in recent years have been recommended for hernia repair surgery. The procedure usually involves a hernia mesh to help with recovery. Unfortunately, hernia meshes have resulted in catastrophic injuries to patients throughout the state.

Injury cases have become so widespread that hernia mesh makers and suppliers are currently embroiled in multidistrict litigation (MDL). If you or someone you love has suffered a hernia mesh injury, you may be able to join in on the MDL and recover compensation from the company that provided the defective medical device. The strategy-driven product liability attorneys at The Alvarez Law Firm can help you sue the company that allowed you to get injured and recover maximum compensation.

What is a Hernia Mesh?

Hernia mesh is used for supporting a weakened tissue section in the body to provide the hernia enough time to heal. The medical professional may either recommend a permanent, non-absorbable hernia mesh or a temporary, absorbable one.

Hernia Mesh Lawsuits in Florida

You probably have several questions regarding the current ongoing litigation for hernia mesh injuries. At present, there is no class action lawsuit for hernia mesh injuries. The claims are being filed on an individual basis. Pertaining to this, mass torts have been established to expedite the pretrial process and encourage settlement negotiations.

There are existing multidistrict litigations (MDL) against Davol/Bard and Atrium, and any new legal complaint may get consolidated with it.
