What Our Clients Say About Us
My life was upended when I was struck by a car going 35 MPH while walking across the street. My tibia was dislodged at the knee, requiring major leg surgery. It was a difficult recovery with great pain and discomfort and almost five months of physical therapy. When I was in the hospital, I contacted Ankin Law to represent me. From the moment of initial contact and throughout the entire process I felt like I made the right choice as everyone I came into contact at Ankin was very friendly, caring and helpful, special thanks to Cynthia. Matt Friedman was the attorney assigned to my case. It was a pleasure working with Matt, he did a great job in explaining how things work and proceed in a case of this nature and was always very responsive to me. In less than eight months, Matt secured the highest possible insurance settlement that was available. I am writing this review on Thanksgiving morning, and I am so thankful that I didn’t sustain further injuries upon the accident, and so very thankful that Ankin Law represented me.
Understanding Hernia Mesh Lawsuits
Hernia mesh lawsuits are legal claims filed against numerous medical device manufacturers for producing and distributing defective hernia mesh implants that cause serious health complications. Many of these devices were poorly designed, leading to painful and life-threatening side effects. According to an article published in the British Medical Journal, up to 170,000 patients may have been affected, and the rate of hernia mesh complications is estimated to be between 12% and 30%. Despite numerous recalls and thousands of lawsuits, dangerous hernia mesh products continue to harm unsuspecting patients.
- Chronic pain that does not improve after surgery
- Infections that require additional medical treatment
- Migration of the mesh, causing damage to surrounding tissues
- Perforation of internal organs, leading to life-threatening complications
- Bowel obstruction that can result in emergency surgery
- Adhesions and excessive scar tissue formation
- The need for additional surgeries to remove or replace the failed mesh
If you have experienced any of these issues, you may qualify for compensation through a hernia mesh lawsuit.
