What Damages Can I Recover in a Depo-Provera Lawsuit?

If you were diagnosed with a meningioma after receiving Depo-Provera shots, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation. Here’s a list of recoverable damages you can pursue in a lawsuit:

• Medical Expenses: Costs for treatment, including doctor visits, brain scans, radiation, surgeries, medications, and ongoing care
• Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to inability to work while going through or recovering from treatment
• Lost Earning Capacity: Compensation for the effect your brain tumor has on your ability to work in the future
• Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life due to the side effects of Depo-Provera
• Future Medical Expenses: Projected costs for long-term medical treatment or care needed as a result of using Depo-Provera
• Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the impact of the injuries on personal relationships, particularly affecting spouses or partners
• Rehabilitation Costs: Expenses for physical therapy or rehabilitation needed to recover from injuries caused by Depo-Provera

Consulting with a qualified lawyer can help you understand your eligibility for these forms of compensation and guide you through the legal process.

What Is Depo-Provera?

Depo-Provera is a hormonal contraceptive injection used to prevent pregnancy. It contains a synthetic form of the hormone progestin called depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). The shot is administered by a healthcare provider every 12 weeks (about three months), and its primary function is to prevent ovulation, meaning the ovaries do not release eggs. The Depo shot also thickens cervical mucus, which prevents the sperm from reaching the egg.

Depo-Provera is a highly effective form of birth control when used correctly, with a success rate of over 99%. However, it must be taken every three months to maintain its effectiveness.

While Depo-Provera offers convenience and long-lasting protection, it has potential side effects, including: 

• Irregular menstrual bleeding
• Weight gain
• Headaches
• Mood changes

One of the more significant risks is a reduction in bone density, which can increase the likelihood of fractures, especially with long-term use. Other possible risks include delayed return to fertility after discontinuing the injection. 

However, a recent, very concerning side effect of the Depo-Provera shot is the increased risk of brain tumors. A few recent studies support this claim, including this study published in The BMJ which found an increased risk of meningiomas with prolonged use.
