Liability Overview

Liability Considerations in San Antonio

Hernia Mesh Litigation in San Antonio

San Antonio's large active-duty and veteran military community faces elevated hernia rates from physical service demands, and military veterans treated at VA facilities may have separate administrative remedies in addition to civil litigation options. Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 governs the 2-year discovery limitations period for civilian claimants. Federal hernia mesh cases from Bexar County transfer from the W.D. Texas San Antonio Division to MDL 2846 in S.D. Ohio.

Angela Torres combines a biochemistry background with 16 years of medical device litigation experience, a combination that gives her unusual depth when working with biomaterials experts and reviewing complex surgical records. Her Texas practice serves a large hernia mesh client base across the Gulf Coast region, where high rates of hernia repair surgery — driven by occupational injury patterns in the energy and construction sectors — have produced significant numbers of mesh complication cases. Angela has recovered more than $35 million for medical device clients over her career. She is known for aggressive pursuit of internal corporate documents during discovery, including studies defendants attempted to withhold as trade secrets.
