What Is a Copper IUD Lawsuit?

Copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) were promoted as non-hormonal, safe, and long-lasting birth control. Yet many women report serious complications during removal, including device breakage that leads to uterine perforation, organ damage, and even long-term reproductive problems. A copper IUD lawsuit holds the manufacturer accountable for failing to warn about these risks. Women who suffered complications may be eligible to file an injury claim with the help of our experienced attorneys.

Risks and Injuries Linked to Copper IUDs

Complications from copper IUDs are often tied to device breakage and removal procedures. Patients have reported:

Device Breakage
IUD arms may snap during removal, leaving fragments inside the uterus.

Uterine Perforation
Pieces of the device can puncture the uterus and require emergency surgery.

Organ Damage
Fragments may migrate and harm surrounding organs, creating lasting complications.

Reproductive Health Issues
Scarring or loss of fertility has been reported after failed removal procedures.

Chronic Pain
Women often experience pelvic pain that does not resolve after the device is removed.

These injuries have led to growing litigation as women seek accountability and resources to cover medical treatment and ongoing care.

Why Women Are Filing Copper IUD Lawsuits

For many women, routine removal of their copper IUD has led to device breakage and serious complications. Some required surgery to retrieve fragments. Others have dealt with damage that affected their reproductive health. Patients are filing injury claims because the manufacturer failed to warn about these risks and continued to market the device as safe. Taking legal action gives women a way to cover the cost of treatment and hold the company accountable for harm caused by defective contraceptive devices.

Who May Qualify to File a Copper IUD Claim

IUD litigation often focuses on women who faced severe complications from IUD device breakage during routine removal procedures. While every case is unique, the following situations are most often linked to claims:

Breakage During Removal
Some patients needed medical procedures when the device fractured and left pieces behind.

Uterine or Organ Damage
Fragments that punctured the uterus or moved into nearby organs caused lasting injuries.

Loss of Fertility
Certain women were left unable to conceive after complications tied to the defective device.

Repeat Surgeries
In some cases, patients required more than one operation to remove all remaining IUD pieces.

Fatal Complications
Families may file a claim if a loved one died as a result of injuries linked to the IUD.

Our IUD side effects lawyers will review your situation carefully and let you know whether it qualifies for legal action.

Why Timing Matters

Each state sets a deadline, known as the statute of limitations, for filing a copper IUD lawsuit. If that deadline passes, the chance to take legal action is usually gone. Starting the process earlier also makes it easier to gather medical records and details about the injury while they’re still fresh. Reaching out to our firm quickly after a complication helps protect your rights and keeps the door open for a claim.

Questions Patients Ask About Copper IUD Defect Lawsuits

When the arms of the device snap during removal, broken pieces can stay inside the uterus. This often leads to emergency procedures and sometimes long-term complications. Women have reported organ damage when fragments perforated the uterine wall, as well as scar tissue that affected fertility. Others continue to deal with pelvic pain or infections even after the device was taken out. These injuries are at the center of many copper IUD injury claims.

A lawyer’s role is to connect what happened in your medical care to the defective device. We review records and consult with doctors, building the evidence needed to show the manufacturer’s responsibility. We also deal directly with the company’s defense team, which can be overwhelming for patients to face on their own. Working with our attorneys means you can focus on recovery while someone experienced in copper IUD litigation pursues accountability and compensation on your behalf.

Yes. Many lawsuits come from removals that should have been routine but turned into medical emergencies. If your device fractured during removal and you needed additional treatment, you may qualify to file an IUD injury claim. Even if you are not sure whether the breakage was fully documented at the time, our legal team can help gather the records and determine if you have a case.

Defective IUD cases are being handled in multidistrict litigation, or MDL. This means many women’s lawsuits are grouped together in one court during the early stages, which helps share evidence and avoid repeating the same work. Even though cases move forward together, each woman’s story is still her own. Your medical records, your injuries, and even your outcome remain separate, and any compensation is based on your individual circumstances.

Glad you asked. The strongest evidence often comes from your medical care. Imaging scans and surgical reports can show that the device fractured. Notes from follow-up visits may confirm that fragments caused complications. Testimony from treating doctors can also help explain how the injury affected your health. Beyond medical records, our lawyers may gather company documents or expert opinions to show what the manufacturer knew about the risk of breakage and how that knowledge was handled. Together, these details create a clear picture of what happened and why the company should be held responsible.

Definitely. Loss of fertility is one of the most devastating outcomes linked to defective IUDs. Families can file claims to seek recovery for the costs of treatment, but the cases also address the deep personal impact of no longer being able to conceive. Courts recognize that this type of harm affects more than physical health, and compensation may reflect both the medical and emotional consequences.

Copper IUD litigation involves complicated science and powerful corporations. A lawyer who has handled IUD device cases understands the medical complications and knows how to explain them in court. Experience also matters in dealing with the manufacturer’s legal team, which will work hard to minimize payouts. Choosing an attorney with a background in defective medical device litigation ensures your claim is taken seriously and is fought for with the resources it requires.
