2. You experienced serious complications — Beyond normal post-surgical recovery

Qualifying Complications

You may have a valid claim if you experienced any of the following after your hernia mesh implant:

• Revision surgery to remove or replace the mesh
• Chronic pain that significantly impacts daily life
• Infection at or around the mesh site

• Bowel obstruction or perforation
• Organ damage (intestines, bladder, other abdominal organs)
