(PRWEB) July 02, 2013
A two-year bar for making claims approaches this month for transvaginal mesh lawsuits in some states, which has led far more men and women recently to file lawsuits with the aid of attorneys such as the Rottenstein Law Group LLP, a vaginal mesh law firm. There are presently about 16,000 transvaginal mesh lawsuits in federal courts, according to court records.

On July 13, 2013, it will have been two years since the U.S. Meals and Drug Administration issued a drug safety communication* indicating that the dangers of transvaginal mesh, used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and anxiety urinary incontinence, are not uncommon. Though states statutes of limitation for claims might differ, several states set the limit to two years following an FDA alert, according to court documents in pelvic repair system liability litigations in the consolidation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia (MDLs 2440, 2187, 2325, 2326, 2327 and 2387).

These limits are quite crucial. Those who think their mesh implant has harmed them must speak to a lawyer about the applicable statute of limitations for claims, said Rochelle Rottenstein, principal of the Rottenstein Law Group LLP. Very carefully contemplating regardless of whether or not to file a lawsuit to recover compensation is a need to, but waiting as well extended could mean losing any opportunity at that compensation.

Recently, lawsuits against Cook Healthcare, Inc., joined those against C.R. Bard, American Health-related Systems, Boston Scientific, Ethicon and Coloplast in a federal consolidation of lawsuits for pretrial efficiency, according to court documents.

On July 1, the federal court chose four separate surgical mesh lawsuits as bellwether trials in the AMS MDL. The very first trial is set for Dec. three. Plaintiffs in the six MDLs allege that their mesh implants have brought on them to endure adverse side effects, including erosion, bleeding, pain and infection, according to the court documents.
