Do I need to have my mesh removed to file a lawsuit?

No, mesh removal is not required to file a lawsuit. Many women cannot safely undergo removal surgery because mesh integrates with pelvic tissues over time or due to health risks. Both removed and retained mesh cases receive compensation based on documented complications like erosion, chronic pain, or organ perforation. While removal surgery can provide physical evidence and demonstrate injury severity, successful cases proceed without removal when medical records show complications. If you or a loved one suffered complications from vaginal mesh, you may be eligible to seek compensation.

How long do I have to file a vaginal mesh lawsuit?

State statutes of limitations range from 1-6 years, with most allowing 2-3 years from injury discovery. The discovery rule applies since complications often appear years after implantation – your deadline starts when you discover the mesh caused your problems, not from surgery date. Special extensions may apply for bankrupt manufacturers like Endo, which has specific trust deadlines. MDL proceedings can also affect filing deadlines. If you or a loved one experienced mesh-related injuries, you may be eligible to seek compensation.

What if my doctor says the mesh isn't causing my problems?

You have the right to seek second opinions, especially from mesh-experienced physicians like urogynecologists or pelvic floor specialists. Many doctors lack experience in identifying mesh exposure or mesh complications. While defense experts may dispute causation, plaintiff medical experts can establish the connection through diagnostic testing and symptom pattern analysis. Legal teams work with medical experts who review your complete history, tests, and symptoms to prove causation despite initial physician skepticism. If you or a loved one developed serious health issues after mesh implantation, you may be eligible to seek compensation.

Will filing a lawsuit affect my relationship with my doctor?

No, lawsuits target manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson or Boston Scientific, not your healthcare providers. Medical malpractice is separate from product liability claims. You retain full rights to continued care, with legal protections against retaliation. Doctors cannot refuse treatment based on your litigation. Most physicians understand that these lawsuits focus on device defects and manufacturer failures, not physician performance. If you or a loved one suffered harm from transvaginal mesh, you may be eligible to seek compensation. Contact TruLaw using the chat on this page to receive an instant case evaluation and find out if you have a case.

How much compensation can I expect from a mesh lawsuit?

Settlement ranges span $20,000 for minor complications to $400,000+ for severe injuries requiring multiple surgeries. Most settlements fall between $150,000 to $450,000. Vaginal mesh manufacturers use tier systems based on injury severity, number of surgeries, and complication permanence. Factors affecting value include age, economic losses, quality of life impact, and medical evidence strength. These settlement amounts are only estimations that differ on a case-by-case basis depending on the details surrounding your situation. For that reason, it’s best to consult with an experienced attorney who can help you learn about the potential settlement amounts for your exact case. If you or a loved one experienced erosion, pain, or infection from mesh devices, you may be eligible to seek compensation.

What if the manufacturer of my mesh has filed for bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy channels claims through trust funds rather than eliminating them. Endo filed for bankruptcy in August 2022, establishing trusts with specific deadlines – some September 2024, others April 2025. Missing deadlines permanently bars recovery. Trust compensation typically provides reduced amounts compared to traditional litigation but offers guaranteed payment paths. If you or a loved one were injured by defective transvaginal mesh products, you may be eligible to seek compensation.
