The Essure Claims Process:
All defective medical device claims have statutes of limitations. A statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a lawsuit. Most lawsuits MUST be filed within a certain amount of time. In general, once the statute of limitations on a case “runs out,” the legal claim is not valid any longer.
The statute in this Essure case was triggered by the FDA black box warning (the strongest consumer warning) that was applied to the Essure box on September 2015. 
When you file an Essure claim, our nationwide attorneys need about 6 weeks to obtain your medical records and file lawsuits, so the cutoff to accept new claimants for 3 year states will be August 10, 2018.
The cutoff to accept new claimants for 4 year states will be August 11, 2019, and the cutoff to accept new claimants for 5 year states will be August 10, 2020.
