Defective medical devices
Most postoperative problems arising from hernia surgery are the result of defective devices, not the lack of attention or skill that would result in a medical malpractice lawsuit. The most common device doctors use to repair a hernia is called a hernia mesh. Since the 1980’s, hernia mesh implants have become the preferred method of repairing the injury. Not all mesh implants are equal, however. Every year, hundreds of people suffer from problems arising from defective hernia mesh implants. In almost all of these cases, a personal injury attorney will help you and your family to get the medical care and attention you need to prevent further harm or death. The attorney you choose will need to understand the laws surrounding the medical field, along with having excellent skills in handling device manufacturer claims. It’s not uncommon for these cases to be difficult to win. Medical device manufacturers are frequently well-funded and have teams of lawyers dedicated to ensuring the company is shielded from bad publicity following claims of a failure of one of their devices. Your legal team will need to work hard to establish proof of the defective device causing your injuries to ensure you get the proper settlement and long-term care you will need!
