PARAGARD REMOVAL INJURIES
Paragard is an intrauterine device (IUD), initially manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals. Now, Paragard is manufactured by Cooper Surgical. Approved by the FDA in 1984, it is used as a long-term birth control device: according to Cooper Surgical, it provides “up to 10 years of Pregnancy Prevention”.
Paragard is a flexible T-shaped IUD that uses “just 1 simple active ingredient–copper–instead of artificial hormones.” Complications in Paragard removals are now being reported after as little as 1 year after the device is inserted in the uterus. In 2015, the Open Journal of Clinical & Medical Case Reports published a study that found 7 issues related to Paragard’s T arm breaking. The complications required a hysteroscopic removal; in the case of one of the participants of the study, it was not possible to remove the T arm.

Typically, we represent clients on contingency fee agreements. If we take your case under a contingency fee arrangement, you won’t owe our firm any legal fees unless we are able to recover money for you.
Our contingency fee agreements are usually based on a percentage of the amount we recover for our clients. The contingency fee amount is determined by the type of case, our estimate of how long it will take to resolve your case, and our estimate of the litigation costs we will advance in your case. Each engagement agreement includes the details of the fee arrangement. Questions about our fee agreements are welcomed and encouraged.
In most litigation matters, it is extremely difficult – practically impossible – to predict how long it will take to resolve a particular case. Every case is different, and we will do our best to provide you with an estimate based on your case and our experience with similar cases. Moreover, we will do our best to keep you updated and manage expectations along the way.
