Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t know what brand of mesh I have. How do I find out?

Your operative report and hospital implant log will identify the manufacturer and model. We obtain these records at no cost.

My hernia was repaired years ago. Is it too late?

Not necessarily. The statute typically runs from the date you knew or should have known the mesh caused a complication — not the implant date.

My mesh hasn’t been surgically removed yet. Do I have a claim?

Probably. Claims are filed based on injury and complication, not removal. If the mesh is causing documented harm, you may qualify.

Will I have to travel to Ohio/Florida/wherever the MDL is?

Almost never. MDL discovery is done remotely. Only bellwether plaintiffs travel, and bellwethers are a small percentage of total cases.
