A jury in New Jersey recently awarded a plaintiff more than $11 million in a vaginal mesh injury case, including punitive damages designed to punish the manufacturer for knowingly marketing an unsafe product. And a jury in California awarded a woman and her husband $3.6 million for complications from vaginal mesh.
The plaintiff in New Jersey has had to undergo more than 9 additional procedures to try and correct the harm caused by the vaginal mesh implant. Our Pearland vaginal mesh injury attorneys emphasize that her life will never be the same since implantation of the defective medical device.
And the conjugal relations of the plaintiff in California with her husband were severely limited by pain and complications from the vaginal mesh. Jurors designated part of the $3.6 million award for the plaintiff’s husband, whose sex life has suffered because of the vaginal mesh implant.
The FDA recognized the serious risks of complications that vaginal mesh posed to women receiving the implants for prolapse repair. The FDA issued an updated warning in July 2011 detailing the risks and warning patients and their surgeons to seek other alternatives for prolapse repair when possible.
Courts across the nation are now hearing and consolidating the claims of plaintiffs who have been injured by vaginal mesh implants. Our Pearland vaginal mesh injury attorneys note that the multi-million dollar jury awards in the vaginal mesh cases that have been tried so far indicate that jurors understand the pain, suffering, and debilitating injury that these implants cause to women. And they are sympathetic. Many of you might have undergone vaginal mesh prolapse repairs or know someone who has.
