Where would my case be heard?
New Mexico women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 3-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date. New Mexico has a diverse reproductive-age population across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and southern New Mexico, including a significant Hispanic population with meaningful IUD adoption rates. New Mexico women with 2022 breakages may still have viable claims under the 3-year window. Consult a Paragard attorney promptly to confirm the specific deadline for your breakage date.
New Mexico's 3-year personal injury statute under N.M. Stat. Ann. § 37-1-8 gives New Mexico Paragard plaintiffs more time than 2-year states.
