Paragard IUD Injury Lawyers
You should not have to think twice about taking your reproductive health into your own hands, but for thousands of women across the country, choosing a Paragard IUD came with a host of hidden risks.
Paragard, sold under the brand name ParaGard®, is a non-hormonal intrauterine device. Most Paragard IUDs are small, T-shaped frames partially encased by copper wire. The copper heavily restricts the movement of sperm and can prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years after installation.
However, while most Paragard IUDs cause no significant complications, many women have reported serious injuries after their intrauterine devices failed. These injuries range in severity and are associated with medical problems including internal organ damage, lacerations to the cervix, and, in some cases, infertility.
