How Can I Avoid Missing the Deadlines for a Lawsuit for Hernia Mesh Defects?
If you have a hernia and need a hernia repair surgery, you have a risk that the hernia mesh used in your surgery is defective and can cause you personal injuries. You will generally have two years to initiate a lawsuit based on an injury from a hernia mesh, which means you have two years from the time you realized there was an issue with your hernia mesh product. It can sometimes be difficult to uncover that your hernia mesh product is defective, if it does not “act up” or show complications right away. For this reason, you will want to talk to a Los Angeles hernia mesh lawyer today, by calling us at 866-INJURY2 or 866-465-8792. We can review your hernia mesh lawsuit and give you the next steps to a full recovery on the merits of your claim.
How Long Do Hernia Mesh Injuries Take to Manifest in the Human Body?
Hernia mesh defects take some time to manifest in the human body. They are not always seen, felt or realized exactly after the hernia repair surgery has been completed. For example, if there is a hernia mesh defect, it can affect the load-bearing ability of the reconstructed hernia repair and means that the stress on the body can create serious complications.1 When you get a hernia repair, the mesh needs to bond to the tissue in the region of the abdomen being repaired.1 If the hernia mesh is defective in any way, this critical bonding may not happen or may happen in a wrong way. In other words, if the herniated abdominal wall area has too much strain on it that is not repaired with a hernia mesh that is defective, then the hernia mesh may make the hernia many times worse than the original injury.
