ATLANTA , June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Elite Litigators has named
Childers Schlueter Smith the best
law firm in the country for representing victims of defective
Paragard IUD medical devices. The recognition is largely attributed
to the exceptional work of attorney C. Andrew Childers in advocating for the rights of
Paragard victims.
Attorney C. Andrew Childers, who
serves on the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee and as Plaintiff's
Liaison Counsel for the multidistrict litigation case filed in the
US District Court of Georgia,
commented, "The sheer number of cases filed speaks volumes about
the extent of harm caused by the Paragard IUD. We are committed to
holding the manufacturers of Paragard – Teva and Cooper –
accountable and securing justice for our clients who have suffered
due to this defective device." He added, "It is an incredible honor
for our firm to be recognized by Elite Litigators. I am passionate
about this litigation and dedicated to representing our clients to
the best of my ability."
Elite Litigators based their decision to name Childers Schlueter Smith as the Best Paragard
Lawsuit Attorneys on a number of significant criteria, including
the law firm's extensive experience in mass torts and product
liability cases, outstanding client reviews, and attorney Childers'
leadership role in the Paragard mass tort litigation.
Hiring an attorney like Andrew
Childers, who is the Plaintiff Liaison Counsel for the
entire mass tort, offers significant advantages. His leadership
status in the multidistrict litigation case ensures that he has an
in-depth understanding of the case and direct influence over the
litigation process, which can be crucial for achieving favorable
outcomes for clients.
The legal battle surrounding Paragard continues to grow, with
women in all 50 states now having filed over 2,690 lawsuits against
CooperSurgical and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, the device's
manufacturers. Paragard IUD is inserted into the uterus and is
claimed to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years, but women across
the country have reported significant injuries from the device,
including breakage and pieces of the IUD remaining lodged in the
uterus or other internal organs.
The first major trial in this series is expected to begin in
early 2025, which will help determine the resolution of future
cases. Recent reports indicate that CooperSurgical may have ignored
FDA warnings about potential breakage, raising further concerns
about their handling of the device.
