While compensation may be available to qualified pelvic mesh claimants, victims are urged to act promptly.

Arkansas Pelvic Mesh Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
AR pelvic mesh lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Arkansas, and 2) the severity of bladder or vaginal injuries.
Arkansas State Bladder Mesh Claims
When all parties reside in Arkansas, pelvic mesh lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (AR Courts Website). The Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for surgical implant claims.
The State of Arkansas follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, an Arkansas bladder mesh lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by transvaginal implant manufacturers provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the implant victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
8th Circuit Bladder Mesh Claims in Arkansas
Arkansas is part of the Eighth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual pelvic mesh lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Transvaginal mesh appeals are heard by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the injuries are severe, bladder mesh claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal pelvic mesh lawsuits filed in Arkansas may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a transvaginal surgery Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 8th Circuit vaginal mesh compensation.)
