Where would my case be heard?
Tennessee women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 1-year statute of limitations — one of the shortest in the country under Tennessee's general personal injury law. This extremely short deadline means Tennessee women must consult a Paragard attorney within weeks of learning their Paragard broke and caused injury. Any Tennessee woman whose Paragard broke in 2025 must file by 2026. Tennessee's deadline is short.
Tennessee's 1-year personal injury limitations period under Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104 is among the shortest in the nation. Tennessee Paragard plaintiffs must act with maximum urgency. Atlanta (MDL 2974 venue) is accessible from Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville.
