Your medical record should indicate what brand of hernia mesh was used for your hernia mesh surgery. You can request your medical records from the hospital where the procedure occurred. Your attorney may also be able to request these records on your behalf.
If your mesh came from any of the manufacturers mentioned before, your implant may be defective. You should speak with your doctor and keep aware of any abdominal pain.
No, this is a mass tort litigation. While similar to a class-action lawsuit, mass tort lawsuits differ significantly. In a class-action lawsuit, a group of plaintiffs with similar claims against a defendant is represented collectively by a member of the group. The group is treated as a single entity, and any settlement or judgment is distributed evenly among all members. Individual plaintiffs do not need to prove their own damages separately.
In contrast, a mass tort claim involves multiple individual lawsuits filed by plaintiffs who allege harm from the same defendant. These cases are often consolidated for pre-trial proceedings to streamline the process, but each plaintiff must prove their own damages and losses individually. This allows for more personalized compensation based on each plaintiff's specific circumstances.

This is a Mass Tort, Not a Class Action
What's the difference?
In a mass tort, victims are treated as individuals and the specific merits of each claim are taken into consideration. In a class action, every victim has a similar injury and is treated identically.
The benefit of mass tort litigation is that plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations which ultimately lead to significantly greater payouts compared to class actions.
- Settlements and payouts tend to be significantly higher compared to class action awards
- Plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations
Mass Tort Payments
