Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

Harm & Complications Caused by Hernia Meshes
A hernia mesh device is meant to support and protect an area of the body that has experienced a hernia by being implanted into the patient. If a hernia mesh device is designed poorly or improperly implanted during surgery, it could eventually cause significant health problems for the patient. Some issues are caused by the hernia meshes ripping or moving, and others are caused by the mesh device failing to complete its intended function.
Complications reported with failed hernia mesh devices include:
- Severe abdominal pain
- Infection around the hernia site
- Hernia recurrence
- Additional surgery in case of recurrence
- Organ perforation
- Internal bleeding
- Wrongful death
If it is found that the patient is owed compensation, any amount offered should consider the cost of further treatment and the treatment costs accrued when the device was first implanted. Our Greenville defective medical device attorneys will approach the situation with a settlement in mind, as this generally rewards our clients quicker than litigation. However, if it is clear that you are not going to be offered a fair settlement amount from the liable party – either a hospital, physician, or hernia mesh manufacturer – we will not back down. Our professionals are always ready for a courtroom battle if it means making our clients’ lives comfortable again.

Frequently Asked Questions – Carolina Hernia Mesh Lawsuit
The lawsuits allege that manufacturers of certain hernia mesh products, particularly those made of polypropylene, created defectively designed devices. The claims state that these products can lead to a severe inflammatory reaction, causing the mesh to shrink, migrate, and adhere to internal tissues, resulting in serious complications.
The most common and severe complications include chronic pain, infection, mesh adhesion (sticking to organs), bowel obstruction or perforation, mesh migration (moving from its original site), and hernia recurrence. Many of these complications require one or more painful revision surgeries to remove the mesh.
Numerous products are involved, but some of the most prominent include Ethicon’s Physiomesh and Proceed, Atrium’s C-Qur, and various polypropylene meshes from Bard Davol, such as the Kugel Patch and Ventralex. An attorney can help identify the specific product used in your surgery.
As of August 2025, tens of thousands of hernia mesh lawsuits are consolidated in several Multidistrict Litigations (MDLs) and state court proceedings against various manufacturers. While some individual settlements and verdicts have occurred, many cases are still actively moving through the discovery and bellwether trial process, which will shape future settlement negotiations.
You may have a claim if you had hernia repair surgery with a mesh implant and subsequently suffered serious complications like chronic pain, infection, or the need for revision surgery. It is important to speak with a lawyer who can obtain your medical records to identify the type of mesh used and evaluate your eligibility.
Victims can seek compensation for all past and future medical expenses (including costly revision surgeries), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and significant non-economic damages for their physical pain, mental anguish, and loss of quality of life.
The time limit, or statute of limitations, in South Carolina is generally three years. The clock typically starts when you knew or reasonably should have known that your injury was caused by the defective mesh. Because these deadlines are strict, it is vital to consult an attorney as soon as you suspect a problem.
