Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.

I met Josh like 4 years ago when my Son was injured at Daycare. He was very concerned about the well being of my Child and Me. Very Understanding Professional and Just a great Staff. If You need a Lawyer that’s all about YOU this is the Place. I just closed a Case on 6/23/2021 from a injury on a Property. They handled everything because no one else would help Me. I’m forever grateful for Your hard Work and Time. Once again Thank You Josh and Sally.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
— Jen
I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

South Carolina Paragard® IUD Lawyers
Helping You Through Copper IUD Claims in Greenville, SC
Paragard® is the only non-hormonal IUD (intrauterine device) available in the United States. Unfortunately, many women choose this option without knowledge of the device’s side effects and potential for complications. The Paragard IUD can perforate the uterine wall or cervix during insertion and break during removal. It can also migrate or be expelled from the uterus.
If you have experienced a complication with a Paragard® IUD, Christian & Christian may be able to help.
What Is Paragard®?
Paragard® is marketed as a “small, 100% hormone-free IUD (intrauterine device) that’s over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.”
The device itself is a T-shaped plastic frame with copper coils. It works by producing an inflammatory reaction in the uterus that is toxic to sperm and eggs and prevents fertilization and implantation.
Christian & Christian Law assist people with personal injury matters in the following locations: Anderson, Clemson, Easley, Fountain Inn, Greenville County, Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Spartanburg, and Travelers Rest.
Paragard IUD®: FAQ
Is Paragard® Safe?
Many women use Paragard® without complications and see the device as a favorable way to prevent pregnancy without the use of hormones. That being said, other women experience negative side effects and serious complications.
Side effects of Paragard® include:
- Anemia (iron deficiency)
- Backache
- Dysmenorrhea (painful cramps)
- Dyspareunia (pain during intercourse)
- Complete or partial expulsion
- Increased menstrual flow
- Spotting
- Pain and cramping
- Vaginitis
While unpleasant, these side effects are less severe than the other risks associated with Paragard®.
A defective Paragard® IUD can:
- Cause pelvic inflammatory disease
- Increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy
- Imbed itself in your uterus or other organs
- Perforate your uterine wall or cervix
- Break during removal
- Lead to lost pregnancy and infertility
Some women require surgery to treat complications, especially when the device breaks and becomes embedded in the uterus. When this occurs, they may fight for compensation, especially because the IUD has proved to be defective.
Many plaintiffs also argue that Paragard’s manufacturer, Cooper Surgical, does not offer adequate warnings about these risks to consumers. Although the company warns that less than 1% of users develop pelvic inflammatory disease, they do not specify how many people suffer breakage and complications.

The lawsuits claim that the device’s arms can break and become embedded in the uterine wall, leading to serious injuries like perforation, migration, and the need for a hysterectomy. Plaintiffs claim that the manufacturers, including Teva Pharmaceuticals, failed to adequately warn patients and doctors of these risks.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What are the serious complications of a defective Paragard IUD?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “A defective Paragard IUD can lead to a variety of serious complications. The most common issues include the device’s arms breaking upon removal, which can cause uterine perforation, migration of fragments, and internal organ damage.

You may also be able to recover damages for lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and a loss of reproductive function. In cases of a manufacturer’s willful misconduct, a court may also award punitive damages to punish the company and deter future dangerous conduct.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Do I need a lawyer for my Paragard IUD case in Greenville, South Carolina?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes. A Paragard IUD lawsuit is a complex legal matter that involves holding powerful medical device companies accountable for a dangerous product. An experienced products liability attorney can help you navigate the legal process, gather the necessary medical evidence, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve. An attorney is essential to ensuring a successful outcome, especially when dealing with a mass tort or an MDL.” } } ] } }
