Using birth control should be a thoughtful, informed decision — never one where you end up harmed by the very device designed to protect you. Sadly, thousands of women have reported serious complications after having a ParaGard IUD inserted or removed. If you or someone you love has suffered injury, infertility, or worse because of a ParaGard device, you deserve a lawyer who sees more than just paperwork — a lawyer who sees you, your pain, and your future. I’m Peter Smith, and I’m here to help you fight for justice and full compensation.

The ParaGard IUD — widely marketed as a safe, long‑term, non‑hormonal contraceptive — has increasingly been the subject of lawsuits because many users say the device failed in dangerous ways. According to claims against the manufacturer, the problems include:
Breakage of the device upon attempted removal
Portions of the IUD fracturing and remaining embedded in the uterus or nearby organs
Migration of the device from its intended position, sometimes puncturing or perforating the uterine wall
Serious complications including infections, internal damage, pain, and long‑term reproductive harm
For some women, the device was removed without incident. For others, removal led to catastrophic injury. These outcomes are not outliers — enough women are coming forward that many attorneys and medical‑device litigators now consider ParaGard to be defective by design or insufficiently disclosed in terms of risk.
When ParaGard fails, the effects can go far beyond a simple doctor’s visit. Women have reported:
Severe pelvic pain, heavy or irregular bleeding, and chronic discomfort
Embedded fragments requiring surgical intervention — from minor procedures to full hysterectomy in extreme cases
Infections, scarring, or organ damage, sometimes leading to long‑term health complications or infertility
Emotional trauma, disruption of life plans, and financial strain from medical bills and loss of fertility or reproductive ability
For anyone who trusted ParaGard for safe birth control — only to suffer serious harm — the betrayal runs deep. Recovery is often physical and emotional, and the road to healing can be long and uncertain.
If you have had a ParaGard IUD implanted — and experienced any of the following complications — you may have grounds for a legal claim:
Device breakage or fracture during removal
Embedded pieces of the IUD inside the uterus or adjacent organs
Uterine perforation, organ damage, or migration of the IUD
Ongoing pain, infection, reproductive harm, or infertility that followed IUD use or removal
Because many of these issues emerge only after removal, or after complications develop over time, tracking the full impact — physically, mentally, and financially — is crucial. That is why an experienced attorney can make a big difference in holding responsible parties accountable.
A successful claim could seek to recover a wide range of damages, including:
All medical expenses related to the injury: emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, follow-up procedures, future treatments, and medications
Costs for long-term care or ongoing health issues caused by device failure
Lost wages or loss of earning capacity if injuries affected your ability to work or to plan for a family
Compensation for pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of quality of life, loss of fertility, or other long-term consequences
Other damages tied to reproductive harm, permanent injury, or the need for ongoing medical monitoring
Because ParaGard-related injuries often carry lifelong consequences, a comprehensive legal claim should address both immediate losses and future needs.
I understand that a ParaGard injury claim is more than a legal matter — it’s about your health, your body, your life choices, and your future. Here’s what I bring to the table:
A full review of your medical history, device records, and all documentation related to insertion, removal, and subsequent complications
Collaboration with medical, gynecological, and device‑safety experts — to connect the injury to the device and to assess long‑term impacts on health and fertility
Handling of negotiations with manufacturers, distributors, or medical providers — so you don’t have to deal with complex pressure while recovering
A commitment to seek full compensation, not just a quick settlement — aiming to hold negligent parties accountable for the full scope of harm suffered
I treat every case with sensitivity, respect, and utmost confidentiality. Survivors deserve an attorney who listens first, and then fights hard.
In cases involving medical devices like ParaGard, time can be critical. Medical records, surgical reports, imaging, and treatment documentation are essential — and the sooner a case is reviewed, the better chance you have of preserving necessary evidence. Delays can put your rights at risk.
If you or a loved one has been harmed by a ParaGard IUD — even if problems appeared months or years after removal — I encourage you to reach out now for a free, no‑obligation consultation. I work on a contingency basis: you pay nothing unless we win your case.
Let me help you fight for justice, accountability, and recovery.
