Who Can Sue for a Brain Tumor Related to the Depo-Provera Birth Control Shot

You could be eligible to join other Depo-Provera users who were diagnosed with a brain tumor after taking the birth control shot. To qualify, you must have been administered:

• One of these Pfizer brand shots—Depo‐Provera or Depo‐SubQ Provera
• A generic version of Depo-Provera manufactured by Preferred Pharmaceuticals Inc., Prasco Laboratories, A‐S Medication Solutions, Greenstone LLC, or Pharmacia & Upjohn Company LLC

If you received at least two shots of Depo-Provera from the brands on this list, you likely meet the first eligibility criteria. You must also have been diagnosed with a specific type of brain tumor called a meningioma.

Is the Depo-Provera Lawsuit a Mass Tort?

As of November 2024, the Depo-Provera lawsuits are currently individual lawsuits filed in courts across the nation. Sometime soon, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation could choose to consolidate these lawsuits into a multidistrict litigation (MDL).

Cases are consolidated into an MDL or a class action when multiple people suffer the same or similar injuries due to the same defendant’s action or inaction. The Depo-Provera lawsuits could follow this path as many people have developed meningiomas after receiving Depo shots.

Recover the Costs of Treating Your Meningioma Brain Tumor in Fort Myers

A 2024 study published in The BMJ acknowledged the connection between Depo-Provera and an increased risk of developing a meningioma.

According to Mayo Clinic research, you can expect the following medical expenses if you have been diagnosed with a meningioma:

• Imaging exams (CT scan, MRI, and X-rays)
• Physical exams and laboratory testing
• Frequent monitoring of the tumor’s growth
• Surgery to remove the entire meningioma (if possible)
• Radiation therapy or chemotherapy medication

All of these costs are recoverable as part of the claim or lawsuit we file on your behalf. 

Florida Statutes § 768.81 also allows you to recover additional economic damages for the wages you lose while you recover. Plus, you can get compensation for the loss of your capacity to earn in the future. 

Non-Economic Damages We Fight to Recover for You

The non-economic portion of your injury claim will compensate you for intangible damages like physical pain and suffering. It also compensates you for the mental and emotional trauma you experience following your diagnosis. Finally, it compensates you for your loss of enjoyment of life.

How Florida’s Personal Injury Filing Deadline Applies to Mass Tort Claims

As of November 2024, these Depo-Provera cases have not been consolidated. However, it could happen soon. 

Mass tort claims must comply with the same statute of limitations as individual personal injury lawsuits. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, that generally means filing your lawsuit within two years. 

This can be complicated in Depo-Provera claims where the exact date of the injury could be hard to understand. When we handle it for you, we will work with your medical records and medical team to understand the appropriate filing deadline. Then, we file your lawsuit on time to preserve your right to go to court if needed.
