Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

Where would my case be heard?

Alaska women injured by a broken Paragard IUD face a 2-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date. Alaska's geographic distance from Atlanta does not affect a plaintiff's ability to participate in MDL 2974 — all federal filings are coordinated through the Northern District of Georgia regardless of where the plaintiff lives or where the injury occurred. Alaska women should consult a Paragard attorney, particularly if their device broke in 2023 or 2024, as Alaska's 2-year deadline may be approaching or have passed for earlier breakages.

Alaska Paragard cases are filed into MDL 2974 in the Northern District of Georgia. Alaska's products liability limitations period is 2 years. An Alaska attorney filing into the MDL works with MDL plaintiffs' leadership to coordinate the individual case.
