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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Connecticut women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 3-year statute of limitations, one of the more generous timelines available. This means Connecticut women whose Paragard broke in 2022 may still have time to file in 2025 — and those with 2023 or 2024 breakages have more time. Connecticut plaintiffs should nonetheless consult an attorney promptly, as the breakage-date accrual rule means delay remains risky. Connecticut cases file into MDL 2974 in the Northern District of Georgia.

Connecticut's 3-year tort statute of limitations under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-577 gives Connecticut Paragard plaintiffs more time than the 2-year states. Women with 2022 breakages may still have a viable filing window in 2025. Confirm the exact deadline with a Connecticut Paragard attorney.
