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?

Nebraska women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 4-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date — one of the longer periods in the Midwest — giving Nebraska plaintiffs additional time to file compared to 2-year states. Nebraska women whose Paragard broke in 2022 may still have viable claims. The Omaha metro area has a significant reproductive-age population and active family planning clinic network. Nebraska plaintiffs file into MDL 2974 in Atlanta for federal coordination.

Nebraska's 4-year products liability statute under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-224 is more generous than most states' 2-year periods. Women with 2022 Paragard breakages have until approximately 2026 under Nebraska law. Confirm the exact deadline with a Nebraska Paragard attorney.
