Do I Qualify for the Depo-Provera Lawsuit?

Who Qualifies for the Depo-Provera Lawsuit?

You may be eligible to file a Depo-Provera lawsuit if you meet the following general criteria:

Primary Requirements

1. You received Depo-Provera injections — You must have used Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) as a contraceptive at some point.

2. You were diagnosed with a meningioma — You must have received a medical diagnosis of a meningioma (brain tumor), including:

   • Intracranial meningioma
   • Spinal meningioma
   • Multiple meningiomas

3. The diagnosis came after using Depo-Provera — There must be a timeline connection between your use of the drug and your diagnosis.

Factors That Strengthen Your Case

• Longer duration of use — Women who used Depo-Provera for extended periods (more than 1 year) generally have stronger claims
• Medical records documenting both the Depo-Provera use and the meningioma diagnosis
• Surgical intervention — If you needed surgery to remove the tumor
• Ongoing health complications from the meningioma or its treatment

You May Still Qualify If...

• You stopped using Depo-Provera years ago — the tumors can develop long after discontinuing use
• You used a generic version of medroxyprogesterone acetate
• Your meningioma was discovered incidentally (during imaging for another condition)
• You are a family member of someone who passed away from complications related to a meningioma after Depo-Provera use

What Compensation Could You Receive?

While no settlements have been established yet, mass tort plaintiffs in similar pharmaceutical cases have received compensation for:

Type of Damages	Description
Medical expenses	Past and future treatment costs, including surgery, imaging, and follow-up care
Lost wages	Income lost due to illness, treatment, and recovery
Pain and suffering	Physical pain and emotional distress
Loss of quality of life	Impact on daily activities and relationships
Wrongful death	If a family member passed away from complications

How to Get Started

The process is straightforward:

1. Submit a free case review — Provide basic information about your situation
2. Attorney evaluation — A qualified attorney reviews your case at no cost
3. Decision — You decide whether to move forward with a claim

There is no cost to file a claim. Mass tort attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you receive compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have medical records ready? Not to start. An attorney can help you gather the necessary documentation during the case evaluation.

Is there a deadline to file? Statutes of limitations vary by state. Some states have shorter filing windows than others. It is important to have your case evaluated as soon as possible.
