Where would my case be heard?
Kentucky women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 1-year statute of limitations under Kentucky's general personal injury law — one of the shortest deadlines in the country. In Kentucky, women whose Paragard broke in 2024 must file by 2025, and those with 2025 breakages must file within one year. Any Kentucky woman who experienced Paragard device fracture should consult an attorney, as the limitations window may close faster in Kentucky than in any other state.
