How Much Time Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?

Please keep in mind that in all causes of action, certain statute of limitations applies, and also depends on your state. If you have a possible case, please contact our office so we may assess what statute of limitations or notice requirements are applicable to your claim.

Our firm can help you in gathering the evidence that you need to support your claims that the manufacture was either liable or negligent regarding your injuries suffered due to the hernia mesh you received.
What Kind Of Compensation Could I Expect If I File And Win A Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?
The compensation you can expect to receive if you win a filed hernia mesh lawsuit will depend upon the situation and the complexity of the injuries and damaged sustained.

Aren’t Most Products Liability Lawsuits Just Class Action Lawsuits Where The Plaintiff Can Expect Only A Small Symbolic Settlement?
The hernia mesh lawsuits will not be considered class action lawsuits. Rather, they will be consolidated as MDL, or Multi-District Litigation, which means that each plaintiff can expect to receive a real and individual settlement, based upon the plaintiff’s personal injuries and damages incurred.
