Where would my case be heard?
Hawaii women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 2-year statute of limitations running from the date of device breakage. Hawaii's geographic remoteness does not prevent participation in MDL 2974 — all federal filings are coordinated through the Northern District of Georgia. Hawaii women should consult a Paragard attorney if their device broke during removal and they suffered a documented injury, as the 2-year deadline from the breakage date may be approaching for 2023 and 2024 breakages.
Hawaii Paragard cases file into MDL 2974 in the Northern District of Georgia. The 2-year Hawaii personal injury statute applies. All federal procedural coordination occurs in Atlanta regardless of plaintiff location.
