There are typically three claims a person can make when he or she wants to sue a company for its product. The same claims apply in defective hernia mesh lawsuits. These three claims are: Defectively manufactured hernia mesh implants Defectively designed hernia mesh implants, and/or Defectively marketed hernia mesh. Each claim must be proven on its own merit if the claim is made in a lawsuit. As such, more than one claim can be made within the same lawsuit.
