Oregon pelvic mesh lawsuits claim bladder implant manufacturers failed to protect women from harm. Defective transvaginal mesh has been blamed for many revision surgeries. (See our OR Vaginal Mesh News)
As such, our Oregon pelvic mesh lawyers are filing bladder surgery lawsuits for vaginal implant victims.
Oregon Pelvic Mesh Lawyers Advocate for Surgery Victims
Our team of Oregon bladder mesh attorneys has represented thousands of victims of dangerous medical implants. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue compensation from pelvic mesh manufacturers, and do not file claims against our clients’ doctors or hospitals.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified pelvic mesh claimants, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Oregon pelvic mesh attorneys can make for surgery compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. Follow this link for our latest information on pelvic mesh multi-district litigation (MDL).
Our Oregon pelvic mesh lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm exposure to transvaginal mesh and corrective surgery. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

Oregon Pelvic Mesh Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
OR pelvic mesh lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Oregon, and 2) the severity of bladder or vaginal injuries.
Oregon State Bladder Mesh Claims
When all parties reside in Oregon, pelvic mesh lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (OR Courts Website). The Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for surgical implant claims.
The State of Oregon follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, an Oregon bladder mesh lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by transvaginal implant manufacturers regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. However, the implant victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
9th Circuit Bladder Mesh Claims in Oregon
Oregon is part of the Ninth 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 9th 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 Oregon 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 9th Circuit vaginal mesh compensation.)
