At this early stage of the litigation, it is impossible to accurately estimate what the final settlement value of these cases might be. All we can do at this stage of the game is make an educated guess based on what similar mass tort cases have settled for in the past.
Based on settlement values in prior mass torts involving defective medical devices and resulting in comparable physical injuries, we think that Paragard IUD cases in the top settlement tier may get $100,000-$200,000 in compensation. Paragard cases in the second tier down could be worth $25,000-$75,000. Paragard claims in the very lowest settlement tier could end up getting compensation under $25,000.
