What Is the Depo-Provera Lawsuit?
Depo-Provera is a brand-name injectable contraceptive manufactured by Pfizer. Its active ingredient, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), is a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. Women typically receive a Depo-Provera injection once every three months to prevent ovulation and pregnancy.
Recent scientific research has raised serious concerns about the long-term use of this contraceptive. A 2024 study found that women who use Depo-Provera for an extended period (typically more than 12 months) had a significantly elevated risk of developing intracranial meningioma, a type of tumor that forms in the membrane surrounding the brain.
While they are generally benign and slow-growing, meningiomas can press against the brain and cause serious, life-altering complications, including:
- Seizures
- Vision loss
- Memory problems
- Difficulty speaking
The link between Depo-Provera and meningioma has prompted a wave of product liability lawsuits against Pfizer, with plaintiffs alleging the company failed to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers of potential risk.
Can I File a Depo Shot Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to pursue a Depo shot lawsuit if you meet certain criteria. While every case is different, you may qualify if:
- You received Depo-Provera injections for 12 months or more
- You were diagnosed with meningioma or another serious condition linked to long-term use
- Your diagnosis came after beginning Depo-Provera use
- You suffered medical expenses, lost income, or other damages as a result of Depo-Provera and meningioma
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, speaking with our legal team at D. Miller & Associates will help you understand your rights. Deadlines to act vary by state and can impact your ability to file, so it’s important to reach out as soon as possible.
Possible Compensation for a Depo Shot Lawsuit
While Depo-Provera lawsuit settlements vary from case to case, here’s a general overview of the types of damages commonly awarded in these claims.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are straightforward, financial losses tied to a dangerous or defective product. These can include:
- Current and future medical expenses for surgeries, radiation, and ongoing care
- Lost wages if your condition has affected your ability to work
- Future earning capacity if you become permanently disabled
Non-Economic Damages
A serious health condition impacts far more than just your finances. Non-economic damages cover the physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life that a meningioma diagnosis can cause. These awards acknowledge that the harm isn’t always captured by medical bills or lost wages and are intended to compensate for the real, lived experience of suffering beyond financial losses.
