Maine 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 ME Vaginal Mesh News)
As such, our Maine pelvic mesh lawyers are filing bladder surgery lawsuits for vaginal implant victims.
Maine Pelvic Mesh Lawyers Advocate for Surgery Victims
Our team of Maine 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 Maine 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 Maine 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.

Maine Pelvic Mesh Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
ME pelvic mesh lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Maine, and 2) the severity of bladder or vaginal injuries.
Maine State Bladder Mesh Claims
When all parties reside in Maine, pelvic mesh lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (ME Courts Website). The Maine Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for surgical implant claims.
The State of Maine follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Maine bladder mesh lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by transvaginal implant manufacturers provided the plaintiff is less than 50% at fault. However, the implant victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
1st Circuit Bladder Mesh Claims in Maine
Maine is part of the First 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 1st 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 Maine 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 1st Circuit vaginal mesh compensation.)
