Defective hernia mesh has received a tremendous amount of press recently. Several different brands of hernia mesh including Atrium, Bard, Covidien, and Ethicon have come under heavy scrutiny for the damages their defective hernia mesh caused hernia patients. Hernia surgery is typically low-risk surgery. However, in a cruel twist, perhaps thousands of people suffered terrible side effects from this surgery because of the defective hernia mesh on the market. Many people have filed lawsuits seeking damages for injuries due to these hernia mesh manufacturers for failing to warn patients about the possible dangers of using their hernia mesh as well as negligently designing and manufacturing their hernia mesh products.

Primarily, you should file a lawsuit to recover financial compensation from those who are responsible for your suffering. Holding people accountable for their wrongdoing is essential.
