Where would my case be heard?
Vermont women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 3-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date. Vermont's progressive women's health culture and health-literate population in the Burlington metro area included meaningful Paragard adoption. Vermont women with 2022 breakages may still have timely claims under the 3-year window. Vermont plaintiffs file into MDL 2974 in Atlanta for federal coordination.
Vermont's 3-year personal injury limitations period under 12 V.S.A. § 512 gives Vermont Paragard plaintiffs additional time. Vermont cases file into MDL 2974. Women with 2022 breakages should consult an attorney promptly to assess whether their claim remains timely.
