Liability Considerations in New York
Hernia Mesh Litigation in New York City
New York applies CPLR § 214-c, which tolls the 3-year limitations period until the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered the latent injury — a favorable rule for hernia mesh patients whose complications develop years post-implantation. New York City's high medical costs and economic damages baselines consistently produce above-national-average verdicts and settlements in product liability cases. The Ethicon NJ mass tort program, accessible from NYC, handles J&J/Ethicon mesh claims alongside the Ohio MDL proceedings.
