The Basic Facts About Hernia Mesh Class Action Lawsuits
Companies that have manufactured hernia mesh devices include:
- Atrium Medical Corporation
- Covidien
- C.R. Bard
- Ethicon
- Gore Medical
- Genzyme Corporation
Various Complications from the Devices
There are a number of circumstances that have resulted in complications with installed meshes. One problem is that they are made with inferior products that may be toxic to the human body.
Examples of problems victims have suffered include:
- Perforated Intestines
- Organ Puncture
- Internal Fistulae

Potential Damages
Compensatory damages for defective hernia mesh devices are usually typical for most claimants, but punitive damages could be awarded in certain serious cases. A hernia mesh lawsuit can result in significant awards for those who are seriously injured from the device, and recipients fall in a wide variety of demographics.
Compensatory elements of a claim may include financial recovery for:
- Medical Bills
- Lost Wages When Applicable
- General Long-Term Damages
- Pain and Suffering Recovery
Punitive damages may be recovered from a successful hernia mesh lawsuit, and are awarded by a sympathetic jury after a full case presentation at trial. Most cases are filed as typical product liability cases based on specific claims that the device was:
- Defective by design
- Failed to perform as advertised
- Failed to warn of dangers
- Defective installation or medical malpractice
