Pelvic mesh devices, also known as transvaginal mesh, were initially marketed as an innovative way to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). These surgical mesh products seemed like a lifeline for many, offering relief from weakened or damaged tissue in the pelvic area. However, as more patients experienced transvaginal mesh complications—including mesh erosion, organ perforation, and severe pelvic pain—thousands of pelvic mesh lawsuits and new vaginal mesh lawsuits emerged nationwide. If you or a loved one is enduring chronic pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, or serious complications related to a pelvic mesh implant, Ferraro Law is here to offer seasoned, empathetic, and fierce legal representation.
Understanding Pelvic Mesh Lawsuits
Understanding Pelvic Mesh Lawsuits
Transvaginal mesh devices gained popularity as a surgical mesh solution to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by reinforcing the vaginal wall. Mesh manufacturers like Boston Scientific, American Medical Systems, and others capitalized on the demand for a medical device to reduce symptoms of POP and SUI. Unfortunately, many of these polypropylene mesh products were prone to mesh migration, mesh contraction, and mesh erosion. Vaginal mesh complications became so severe that the FDA eventually reclassified transvaginal mesh devices as high-risk for serious complications.
In many instances, patients who underwent mesh surgery to treat POP or SUI later discovered that the transvaginal mesh implant caused more harm than relief. Severe pain during intercourse, vaginal scarring, bladder slings failing, and multiple revision surgeries are only some of the consequences. Individuals faced with these life-altering effects often find themselves searching for how to file a pelvic mesh lawsuit in Florida, or elsewhere, to hold mesh manufacturers accountable.

5 Stars for The Ferraro Law Firm! My experience with Attorney James L. Ferraro Jr. and the entire staff at The Ferraro Law Firm was beyond my expectations. Every time I called my questions were answered and I never felt rushed. I am very grateful for their hard work and care. I would highly recommend them to others.
Linda K.
Thank you so much for all your hard work. It was truly appreciated! My thanks to you for making us feel so very special.
M.S.
My brother and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and the entire Ferraro Law Firm for everything you have done for our mother. Your legal expertise and consulting has been exceptional. However, it was your empathy, compassion, and sincerity that meant the world to us. The very first time I spoke to you over the phone I could tell that you were not only working hard for our mother but you were genuinely motivated to do everything you could to make sure she received the compensation she deserved. The impending closure of this long journey, that started years ago, will give our mom some form of closure as well. Although no amount of money could ever replace my father, knowing that my mom sees the future through a much brighter and more comfortable lens makes us both very happy. She can now start living her life the best way she can; the only way my father would have wanted her to. We know that this is your job and this is what you get paid to do. However, we saw something different in you. Your words of encouragement and kindness got my mother through a lot of tough times. It was your words of hope coupled with her belief that my father was next to you helping you along the way, that kept her spirits high. My father was a man of few words, he was a man of action. He didn’t tell you he loved you, he showed you he loved you. Very few things impressed him. I would venture to say, that if he were here today, he would be impressed with you James. You not only told us it was going to be okay, you showed us that it’s going to be okay.
B.G.
The Ferraro Law Firm and staff are well respected and uphold this reputation in their commitment to their clients. I have experienced this in a long awaited resolution to a family case. Attorney Steven Valdes was excellent in answering all questions and worked diligently to find important documents that allowed this problem to be brought to fruition. I highly recommend this law firm for any personal cases.
