Who do Physiomesh injuries affect?

Any person who suffered a ventral hernia and had it repaired through laparoscopic surgery may be at risk for hernia mesh injuries. Research from two large European studies shows that patients implanted with Ethicon hernia mesh face a higher risk of serious side effects and injuries than patients implanted with another comparable device. Should you experience pain or signs of infection, please seek medical care immediately. In the absence of symptoms, patients should be monitored routinely for hernia mesh complications.

Aren't most products liability lawsuits just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff can expect only a small, symbolic settlement?

Physiomesh lawsuits are not class action lawsuits. Instead, they will be consolidated as MDL, or Multi-District Litigation, where each plaintiff can expect to receive a real settlement, based upon the individual injuries and damages incurred by each plaintiff.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?

If a member of your family suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even life-long, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective products, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.

Most states have time limits for filing a Physiomesh lawsuit; however, the majority individuals who were implanted with Ethicon surgical mesh for hernia repair will fall within those time limits if they contact an attorney in the near future.
