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.

Where would my case be heard?

Wisconsin women injured by a broken Paragard IUD have a 3-year statute of limitations from the device breakage date. Wisconsin has a meaningful women's health infrastructure in the Milwaukee and Madison metro areas, including University of Wisconsin Health and Froedtert Health with active OB/GYN and reproductive medicine practices. Wisconsin women with 2022 breakages may still have timely claims under the 3-year statute. Wisconsin cases file into MDL 2974 in the Northern District of Georgia.

Wisconsin's 3-year personal injury limitations period under Wis. Stat. § 893.54 gives Wisconsin Paragard plaintiffs more time than 2-year states. Wisconsin cases file into MDL 2974. Women with 2022 breakages should consult an attorney promptly to assess whether their claim remains timely.
