Transvaginal mesh has become a nightmare for thousands of women who have suffered severe adverse effects involving erosion and migration of the mesh along with perforation of organs from it. Surgical mesh was designed over 60 years ago for repairing hernias. It’s a woven material made of synthetic or biological materials that usually comes in a prepackaged kit along with tools to aid in the surgical procedure.

There is problem faced by many who are harmed in a medical setting: Attorneys refuse their cases, not because the harm didn’t happen but because the potential economic damages are too low.

For many of these patients or surviving family, a lawsuit is the only hope to recover losses, learn the truth about what happened and ensure the problem is corrected.

medical emblem

How many lives are lost each year as a result of mistakes made by the medical profession? Over ten years ago, the number reported by the Institute of Medicine was 98,000. That was in the organization’s famous report known as the "To Err is Human" report. Originally desputed, that number has become widely accepted but similar estimates have more than doubled, perhaps quadrupled. As reported by the Journal of Patient Safety, more than 400,000 patients suffer premature death as a result of preventable harm to patients and that "serious harm" could be 10 to 20 times that number.
