Where would my case be heard?
New York Statute of Limitations: New York CPLR § 214-c (product liability / toxic tort discovery rule) establishes a 3 years limitations period for personal injury and product liability claims. New York CPLR § 214-c provides a 3-year period running from the date of discovery of the injury — the most plaintiff-favorable deadline framework in the MDL cohort. New York courts have consistently applied § 214-c to medical device fracture claims where physical injury was latent until imaging revealed retained fragments.
New York City and surrounding metro counties contain one of the highest concentrations of reproductive health clinics in the country. New York State's Medicaid program has historically covered Paragard with minimal cost-sharing, driving high uptake among lower-income women. The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens have significant plaintiff populations in MDL 2974.
