Our Role

Bard for injuries and complications caused by Bard Hernia Mesh. In total, C.R. Bard faces more than 18,000 pending lawsuits in the MDL, a procedure which is commonly used to consolidate federal lawsuits into one U.S. district court to allow for the pooling of information and resources, and are guided by a select number of experienced lawyers appointed by a federal judge. Our firm also represents people who have relied on defective hernia mesh products from Ethicon and Atrium Medical in numerous state and federal court proceedings.
