Our litigation lawyers at Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman LLP are filing lawsuits on behalf of hernia mesh patients who have suffered from serious complications caused by defective hernia mesh devices and other errors. Many patients who were treated with a hernia mesh device were never notified that the medical device likely never received full pre-market testing, including tests involving human patients before it was aggressively marketed to doctors and offered to patients as a sound solution.
Every injury claim has a deadline that must be followed to be eligible for compensation. This is called the statute of limitations, and it begins when the injured patient is made aware of their injury. The statute of limitations for hernia mesh lawsuits is three years from the date of the injury.

Meshes are all made from polypropylene or polyester, but most have a coating unique to that brand or model; a hernia mesh is often used for hernias that occur after incisional surgeries, umbilical surgeries near the bellybutton, and inguinal surgeries near the groin. Different complications are associated with the different meshes, coatings, and surgery locations.
Since surgeons are not obligated to warn clients about hernia mesh product recalls or discovered complications, we have helped clients firsthand learn more about their complications. We have also handled pelvic mesh device lawsuits for years, which involves a medical device that is noticeably similar to a hernia mesh device.
The preservation of a removed hernia mesh device is an important step if you are considering litigation to pursue compensation. Any mesh device removed from your body is your property, and patients like you have the right to tell facilities to preserve the mesh or deliver it to a chosen location.
Some patients want it delivered straight to their homes, and others prefer the evidence be sent directly to their attorneys. You must beware that some doctors will have their patients sign a broad medical release before surgery that allows the doctor or physician to return the mesh to the medical mesh manufacturer without any notice to the patient.
This is not a class action where you are piled into a stack of lawsuits with other claimants and given a token settlement or coupon. If our New York defective medical device attorneys deem your claim to be meritorious and valid, you will have an individual lawsuit personalized to your specific needs and goals. We are not here to boss you around; all decisions are made with you and only you.
