Liability Considerations in Atlanta
Atlanta Paragard claims are filed directly into MDL 2974 in the Northern District of Georgia — the home court of this litigation. Judge Leigh May presides over all MDL 2974 proceedings in Atlanta. Georgia's 2-year statute of limitations under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 applies. Atlanta plaintiffs have the unique advantage of proximity to MDL proceedings, including bellwether trials, expert depositions, and case management conferences. Women who suffered Paragard arm fracture, embedded fragments, hysterectomy, or fertility loss should consult a Paragard attorney.
