The Process of a Defective Transvaginal Mesh Product Lawsuit
As we represent you in your defective transvaginal mesh product lawsuit, you can expect your case to go through the following stages, regardless of whether it is in state court or federal court:
- Pleadings: Your lawsuit will start with the filing of a complaint that asserts your claims for relief. For instance, the complaint may allege that the manufacturer knew or should have known the polypropylene mesh was not fit for implantation in a woman’s urogenital tract. The manufacturer will then file an answer that admits or denies the allegations.
- Discovery: The next phase involves investigation. Through a process called discovery, we will submit to the manufacturer a set of written questions, or interrogatories, as well as requests for admissions and production of documents. We will want to know about the research and development of the surgical mesh product and whether any testing should have put the manufacturer on notice of the defect. We may also request medical records from the hospital where your “mesh surgery” took place, including the product implant sticker that will reveal the make, manufacturer, model, lot number, expiration date and other information about the surgical mesh product. If the manufacturer refuses to comply with our discovery requests, we may need to file motions that will compel disclosure. You should also expect several depositions, which is a process of formally questioning parties, experts and other witnesses. You may also be subjected to a medical examination.
- Trial: Because we have conducted extensive investigation, exhaustive discovery and thorough consultation with our medical experts, we will be prepared to take your case before a judge and jury if a pre-trial settlement cannot be reached. We have tried numerous cases in Georgia and throughout the United States. We have earned recognition and distinction for our courtroom skills from the American College of Trial Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers and Law & Politics Media and others. We will be ready to aggressively and effectively advocate on your behalf.
- Judgment: If the jury rules in your favor, the judge will enter a judgment that outlines the relief you are entitled to receive from the manufacturer of the defective surgical mesh kit. This relief may include compensatory damages that are for compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and the loss of care, compassion and services of a loved one. (These are sometimes called special damages). If the manufacturer contests the judgment, we will be prepared to represent you throughout all stages of appeal.
