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?

New Jersey women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 2-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date. New Jersey has a large and health-literate population of reproductive-age women in the Philadelphia and New York City metro areas, and significant OB/GYN clinic density throughout the state. New Jersey has an active products liability court system. New Jersey women whose Paragard broke in 2023 or 2024 should consult a Paragard attorney, and those with 2022 breakages should also consult one, as their deadline may have passed.

New Jersey's 2-year personal injury statute under N.J.S.A. § 2A:14-2 applies to Paragard claims. New Jersey cases file into MDL 2974. New Jersey also has Atlantic County mass tort consolidation experience that may be available for state court filings.
