How a Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Works

When transvaginal or pelvic mesh erodes, migrates, or causes chronic pain, patients often need revision surgery and face lifelong complications. U.S. product-liability law allows you to seek compensation when a device’s design defects or inadequate warnings cause these injuries.

  • Signal Detection: Surgeons and patients report mesh erosion, organ perforation, and dyspareunia, prompting FDA safety notices (2011) and the 2019 sales ban.
  • Case Consolidation: Hundreds of thousands of claims were centralized in multiple federal MDLs (e.g., MDL 2327 for Ethicon mesh) to streamline discovery and bellwether trials; those MDLs closed in 2021, and new claims now file individually.
  • Causation Evidence: Medical experts testify that polypropylene degradation, pore shrinkage, and improper placement can lead to erosion, infection, and nerve pain.
  • Liability Theories:
  • Failure to Warn: Manufacturers allegedly downplayed the frequency of erosion and revision surgery.
  • Design Defect: Small-pore, heavyweight mesh and rigid arms increase risk of tissue tearing.
  • Negligent Marketing: Promoted mesh as a quick outpatient fix without adequate clinical data.
  • Compensation: Victims may recover costs of revision surgery, future medical care, lost wages, pain and suffering, sexual-dysfunction damages, and punitive damages where applicable.
  • Settlement vs. Trial: Manufacturers have paid $8 billion+ in settlements and verdicts; individual mesh claims continue to resolve through negotiation or trial.
  • Contingency-Fee Promise: You pay nothing up front; our fee comes only if we win compensation for your transvaginal mesh lawsuit.

DePuy ASR Hip Recall FAQS

The FDA did not issue a product recall; instead, on April 16 2019 it ordered all manufacturers to stop selling and distributing transvaginal mesh for pelvic-organ prolapse because they could not prove the devices were safe or effective. Existing implants were not automatically removed, which is why many women still suffer complications and file lawsuits today.

Payouts vary widely. Mass-settlement grids have ranged from about $40,000 to more than $400,000 per claimant, depending on the brand, number of revision surgeries, and severity of pain, infection, or organ damage. Overall, mesh makers have paid more than $8 billion in verdicts and settlements to date.

Most states let you file a transvaginal mesh lawsuit within two to four years of revision surgery or discovery of injury (for example, learning the mesh eroded). Contact us quickly so we can confirm your state’s deadline and preserve your claim.

No. Many women file claims based on documented erosion, infection, or pelvic pain even if removal surgery is not yet scheduled. Medical records and a surgeon’s recommendation can establish the need for future treatment and damages for ongoing pain and sexual dysfunction.

Common qualifying injuries include mesh erosion or extrusion, chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), recurrent infections, urinary incontinence or retention, abscess formation, and organ perforation that requires medical intervention or surgery.

We take every transvaginal mesh case on a contingency-fee basis. You pay nothing up front, and no legal fees at all unless we secure a settlement or verdict on your behalf. Our fee and case expenses come out of the recovery, never from your pocket.
