Video Transcript **Speakers:** Ira Sherman, Joseph Cammarata, Stephen Ollar, Allan Siegel **Allan Siegel (00:02):** We are a personal injury law firm. That is the only type of work that this law firm does. If you were injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, then that’s a case that we would handle. So what does that include? Car crash cases. It includes bicycle crash cases, scooter cases, pedestrian accident cases, truck crash cases. It includes bus cases, all of those things, but it also includes situations where you might be hurt on somebody else’s premises. For example, maybe you were hurt at a business, maybe you slipped and fell because they didn’t maintain their floor in a safe condition. **Ira Sherman (00:40):** The insurance company knows that we are aggressive, we are creative. We have the funds to fund a case and hire experts, and as a result, they distinguish us in a category of law firms that they need to know and do know that we can take the case from day one all the way through trial successfully. **Stephen Ollar (01:05):** Insurance is an important factor, not just the insurance coverage on the vehicle that struck you, but also if you have additional insurance coverage that may compensate you if you have very serious injuries. The degree of your injury is important. **Joseph Cammarata (01:21):** Our approach is victim oriented in the sense that we are concerned for the wellbeing of our clients. We do everything to better their lot in life. A person that’s injured in a crash or bike accidents or pedestrian accidents, their life typically gets turned upside down. And we try to right that balance. We make sure that they’re getting the medical treatment that they need, that they’re following through, and that we understand the medicine, we understand just what the person is going through so we can articulate that. We could present that effectively. **Allan Siegel (01:57):** If you’ve been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence or as a result of somebody else’s intentional act, that’s a case that we would handle and that’s a case that you should call us to consult with us on. # Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits in Washington, DC ## Pelvic Mesh Injury Lawyer Transvaginal mesh is used to treat stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a condition that occurs when a woman’s pelvic organs drop or slip out of place. Both of these conditions develop when pelvic floor muscles weaken due to aging, childbirth, or other causes. Transvaginal mesh products were created to treat these issues and relieve the symptoms they create. **Injured after a pelvic mesh implant? [Contact us](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/contact-us/) for a free case review.** ### Side Effects & Complications Although transvaginal mesh seemed a promising treatment, it soon became clear that these products posed risks of causing harm to women who had them implanted. Because of rising concerns, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued official warnings in 2008 and 2011 regarding the risks associated with transvaginal mesh. **Transvaginal mesh side effects and complications include:** - Erosion of vaginal wall - Organ perforation - Pain, infection, and bleeding - Nerve damage and scarring - Urinary issues - Pain during intercourse - Revision surgery According to the FDA, transvaginal mesh products pose serious complications that can greatly affect a patient’s physical and emotional well-being and subject them to painful correctional treatments. On April 29, 2014, the FDA proposed [stricter safety requirements](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/blog/2014/05/fda-proposes-stricter-safety-requirements-for-pelvic-mesh/) for makers of pelvic mesh, including requirements for manufacturers to prove that products are safe and effective before they are made available to patients. ### Hernia Mesh Lawyer Our firm is also reviewing cases of patients who have suffered injuries caused by hernia mesh. Similar to transvaginal mesh, hernia mesh products – or generally surgical mesh – have been associated with a number of adverse side effects, injuries, and deaths.
