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?

North Dakota women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 6-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date — one of the most generous in the country. North Dakota women whose Paragard broke as early as 2020 may still have viable claims under this extended window. Consult a Paragard attorney to determine whether your North Dakota state court or federal MDL filing deadline remains open. The 6-year window makes North Dakota particularly valuable for women who did not learn about potential legal claims until years after their injury.

North Dakota's 6-year general civil actions statute under N.D. Cent. Code § 28-01-16 is among the most generous in the country for Paragard claimants. Women with breakages dating back to 2020 may still have timely claims. Confirm the applicable deadline for your specific breakage date and state with an attorney.
