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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

South Carolina women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 3-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date. South Carolina is geographically close to the Northern District of Georgia where MDL 2974 is pending, making it accessible for South Carolina plaintiff attorneys participating in case management proceedings. South Carolina women with 2022 or 2023 Paragard breakages may still have timely claims under the 3-year statute. Consult a Paragard attorney to confirm your specific filing deadline.

South Carolina's 3-year personal injury limitations period under S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530 gives South Carolina Paragard plaintiffs additional time. South Carolina's proximity to Atlanta makes participation in MDL 2974 logistics accessible for local counsel.
