Q: Can a Dr be liable for putting in mesh over mesh knowing it has failed n a recall on the mesh?

I had to have surgery because of a hernia, due to a failed mesh. At the time it was performed by labor and industry Dr. They did not remove the failed mesh, they reattached it and put another over it. Was that done knowing the bad mesh had recalls and not care because it was under labor and industry? My stomach is always in pain. Now I fell like it's going to be a life long problem. Is there anything I can do?
