I have never sued anyone or taken legal action. Do I have to file a lawsuit to receive compensation for my hernia mesh complications?
If you or a member of your family suffered a serious complication as a result of defective hernia mesh, you may have to go through additional surgery and be out of work for long time, losing income as a result. You may have many unanticipated medical bills from the surgeon, anesthesiologist, hospital and pharmacy. The whole ordeal could be very costly and exceed the limits of your health insurance. You may be left with sizable medical debt that you should not have to pay when a defectively designed medical product caused the problem. If a member of your family suffered fatal complications from a defective medical device, no amount of compensation will be adequate to replace your loved one. But a settlement can provide some financial security for your family and relieve the financial stress you are experiencing. In our experience, a settlement also may help a family who has lost a loved one as a result of a defective product reach some sense of closure.
