As a transvaginal mesh lawyer in Utah, we realize that women who try this solution do so after suffering from a highly-personal pelvic floor prolapse. This makes the subsequent side effects that much more difficult to deal with. Understanding the sensitivity of the situation, our team is considerate, will listen to your story, and be respectful of your privacy while investigating what happened in your case. You can depend on us to behave in a professional and thoughtful manner at all times.
As a TVM Lawyer in Utah, we can answer any questions you may have. Here are a few we are asked on a frequent basis and our answers to them.
This is a sling-like device inserted in the vagina in order to support the pelvic organs, preventing them from prolapsing. Doctors have been recommending it as an alternative to more invasive surgery.
This is different for each woman, but many of the complaints revolve around the mesh becoming entwined with the internal tissue to the point that it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to remove it. Simultaneously, many women suffer from excruciating and life-altering pain after the procedure.
You should schedule an appointment to discuss your options with your doctor. Given the terrible side effects, you may want to seriously consider having it removed. While we cannot offer medical advice, we can consult with you and discuss your case from a legal perspective at any time.
You have some time to think about it but not much. In Utah, there is a law that dictates how much time you have to file a case in civil court. When it comes to product liability or medical malpractice, that timeframe is only two years. With medical cases like this, it takes time and effort to gather evidence, review medical files, and prepare a case. It is not something that can be thrown together quickly. Instead, it must be well researched. With this in mind, the sooner you retain an attorney, the better off you will be.
We will review what happened to you and provide you with guidance regarding whether you should file an individual lawsuit or join an existing class action suit. This will be different for each individual, and our advice will be based on what is likely to generate the best outcome for you personally.
As a TVM lawyer in Utah, one of the most common questions we hear has to do with money and how much will a victim get. This is highly subjective, but we can tell you how we calculate financial damages. We begin by looking at the cost of your medical care: what have you spent so far and what are you likely to spend in the future. To reach this number, we will review your medical records and speak with your doctor. Next, we will review any expenses you have related to your everyday care or care you have had to obtain for children or other family members as a result of you being unable to provide it. Afterward, we will look at your employment history and whether or not you have missed days from work because of your health complications. If you are unable to work at all or in the same capacity, that will translate to a clear loss of wages, something you should be able to recuperate during a trial. Remember that the jury will ultimately decide what your claim is worth, but this is how we begin to calculate what we will ask for.
