Pursue a Medical Product Liability Lawsuit

Parker Waichman actively litigates cases against the mMaanufacturers of medical devices that have been found to be harmful to patients. Some of these include:

Hernia Mesh

A hernia occurs when organs or tissue bulge through a weakened wall of tissue or muscle in the body. One example is a ventral hernia, in which a person’s intestines bulge through the abdominal wall. Hernias can usually only be repaired with surgery, and one of the surgical methods doctors use is implantation of polypropylene or polyester mesh. The mesh will roughly match the shape and size of the hernia, and it will have many tiny holes throughout it, like a window screen.

During the surgical procedure, the surgeon will make an incision near the site of the hernia, push the herniated tissue back in place, and reinforce the muscle wall using a piece of mesh. Scar tissue is then supposed to grow into the holes of the mesh, making a more rigid wall to prevent hernia recurrence. However, studies show that polypropylene and polyester mesh can cause serious complications when implanted in the human body. Hernia mesh has been known to erode, degrade, tear, perforate nearby organs, and cause severe infections. On top of that, its porous composition makes the mesh almost impossible to remove. Many patients require multiple additional surgeries, and some face lifelong side effects.

Parker Waichman is pursuing product liability cases against multiple hernia mesh manufacturers, and we are currently taking new ones. If you had hernia repair surgery using synthetic mesh, contact our firm today for a free case consultation to see if you qualify for a lawsuit.

IVC Filters

People who are prone to developing blood clots or deep vein thromboses (DVT) are often prescribed anticoagulants by their physicians. These drugs work to thin the blood to prevent clots, or thrombi, from building up and causing heart attacks, strokes or pulmonary embolism. But some patients do not respond favorably to anticoagulants or cannot take them because of other medical conditions.

In these situations, a doctor might recommend implantation of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. An IVC filter is a tiny metal implant that resembles the underside of an umbrella. It is implanted into a major vein in the body (the inferior vena cava) through a catheter inserted into the groin. Once the filter is placed, it is supposed to sit inside the vein and trap blood clots that travel up the leg to prevent them from going to other areas of the body, like the heart, lungs, and brain.

These filters are mostly designed to be temporary, but they are very difficult to retrieve. They can become lodged in the vein, puncture the vein, break apart, migrate out of position or perforate nearby organs or tissue. They can also become completely clogged with thrombi and cause serious medical complications. Studies suggest that nearly every IVC filter will fail, leaving patients at risk for significant injuries.

Our experienced medical product liability lawyers are investigating IVC filter cases and filing lawsuits against several manufacturers. If you had an IVC filter implanted, contact our firm today. We will review your case to see if you can file a product injury claim in court.

I am a 9/11 survivor and it was my good fortune to work with paralegal Benita Rollis. She thoroughly explained the process and helped me to complete all the paperwork. I distinctly remember the day she called to check on me and to encourage me to schedule a medical appointment with WTC health program. I was reluctant to proceed but Benita gave me a much needed pep talk. Thank you Benita! All of Benita’s hard work has made the difference and this has been concluded very favorably.
