Understanding Recoverable Damages in a Depo-Provera Lawsuit Related to Brain Tumors
Recoverable damages in a Depo-Provera lawsuit can vary significantly, particularly when the case involves serious health complications such as brain tumors. Individuals who believe their use of Depo-Provera contributed to the development of an injection DNA brain tumor (also called a meningioma) may seek compensation for various types of damages.
Economic Damages
Economic damages encompass quantifiable financial losses incurred due to health issues arising from the use of Depo-Provera. These can include:
- Medical Expenses: Costs associated with the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, including surgeries, radiation therapy, surgeries, and ongoing medical care
- Lost Wages: Compensation for lost income if you are unable to work due to the effects of the brain tumor or its treatment
- Future Medical Costs: Anticipated expenses for continued treatment, rehabilitation, or long-term care required due to the brain tumor
- Future Lost Wages: Compensation for future income lost due to the effects of your brain tumor
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages reflect subjective losses that are difficult to quantify but significantly impact the plaintiff’s quality of life. These may include:
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain, discomfort, and emotional distress associated with living with a brain tumor and undergoing treatment
- Loss of Consortium: Damages awarded to your spouse or partner for the loss of companionship, intimacy, or emotional support due to your condition and its impact on your relationship
- Emotional Distress: Compensation for anxiety, depression, and psychological trauma that may result from the diagnosis and the challenges of living with a brain tumor

What Is the Issue With Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is a prescription contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate. The shot, which women receive every 12 weeks, works by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg and by thickening the cervical mucus so sperm cannot reach the egg.
Women often choose Depo-Provera for its convenience and long-lasting protection without the need for daily pills. Additionally, it may help manage menstrual symptoms and conditions like endometriosis.
While people think it’s generally a safe drug, it has been linked to an increased risk of brain tumors, per a study in BMJ.
And this is an issue that manufacturers have known about for years. The FDA denied approval of the drug in both 1967 and 1978 because of the link to cancer in lab animals including breast cancer in dogs and an “increased risk of birth defects in human fetuses exposed to the drug.”
Still, the manufacturer chose to put consumers at risk.
