Hernia Mesh Litigation in Los Angeles
Los Angeles County Superior Court's complex litigation department handles high-value hernia mesh cases that remain in California state court rather than transferring to MDL 2846. Cases against Ethicon (J&J) may proceed in the New Jersey mass tort program. Southern California's high cost of living and robust medical infrastructure typically produce above-average damages awards, as medical expenses and lost wages are measured against L.A. market rates. Defense attorneys for Davol/C.R. Bard, Covidien, and Ethicon actively monitor the MDL for bellwether outcomes that may drive global resolution timelines.
