Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits

Transvaginal mesh lawsuits are personal injury cases in which women seek compensation for injuries they have developed after using the Transvaginal Mesh Patch »

Made and distributed by various pharmaceutical companies, the transvaginal mesh patch is a device that strengthens the pelvic floor when childbirth, surgery or some injury has damaged or weakened the vaginal walls.

Although the mesh patch can be an effective treatment for incontinence and pelvic organ prolaspe (a slip of the organs in the lower abdomen), it has also been known to cause severe, potentially fatal injuries, including:

erosion through the vaginal lining
infection from transvaginal mesh
internal bleeding
punctures of the bladder, urethra, bowels and/or blood vessels
recurrence of incontinence and/or organ prolaspe

Given the incidence and seriousness of transvaginal mesh patch injury reports, in October 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a national alert to consumers and medical professionals regarding the damages associated with mesh patch use.

To date, over 1,000 women have reported developing one (or more) of the above transvaginal mesh patch injuries.

Treatment for Transvaginal Mesh Patch Injuries

The severity of the tranvaginal mesh patch side effects requires emergency medical treatment to prevent the development of further complications that can be life threatening. While the exact course of treatments will vary according to the type and severity of the injury, most women will need some combination of the following to re-stabilize their health:

abscess removal
blood transfusions
intravenous treatments
surgeries (which will likely involve procedures to remove the mesh patch and repair punctured organs)

Starting a Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit

Women who have developed serious mesh patch injuries should meet with an experienced transvaginal mesh lawyer to:

learn more about their legal rights
find out if they are eligible for compensation via a transvaginal mesh lawsuit
get advice about the process of pursuing a personal injury lawsuit

To encourage affected women to seek out their deserved settlements, many personal injury attorneys will offer free consultations and will delay payment for their work until (or unless) the case is won. This means that prospective clients, in most cases, won't have to pay anything for legal services until they win their settlement.

Those who decide to follow through with a transvaginal mesh lawsuit will be on their way to recovering compensation for their:

prior medical bills
any necessary future treatments
pain and suffering
living expenses, should their injuries prevent them from working for any length of time
