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?
Indiana women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 2-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date. Indiana has a specific products liability act (IPLA) that governs these claims and imposes a 2-year limitation period. Indiana women whose Paragard broke in 2023 should consult a Paragard attorney as their deadline may be approaching, and those with 2022 breakages should consult an attorney as their deadline may already have passed.
Indiana's Products Liability Act (IPLA) governs Paragard claims filed in Indiana state court. The 2-year IPLA limitations period runs from the date of injury — here, the device breakage. Indiana cases may also be filed into MDL 2974 in Atlanta.
