On this page, we’ll discuss projected Depo-Provera Lawsuit Settlement Amounts, the basis of the current Depo-Provera Lawsuit, the links between taking Depo-Provera and an increased risk of brain tumors, and much more.
The link between Depo-Provera and an increased risk of brain tumors, specifically intracranial meningiomas, has led to a number of lawsuits being filed against Pfizer Inc., the manufacturer of the injectable contraceptive.
Lawyers estimate that individual Depo-Provera Lawsuit settlement amounts could range between $100,000 and $500,000 or more, depending on individual circumstances.
Factors that could influence the settlement value include the severity of the tumor, the impact on the plaintiff’s quality of life, the cost of medical treatment, and whether the individual has suffered long-term or permanent damage
Additionally, lost wages due to an inability to work and the emotional distress caused by the diagnosis may also play a role in determining the compensation amount.
Please be advised that any projected or estimated settlement amounts mentioned on this page are general estimations and are not guaranteed. These figures are based on similar previous litigations, the nature of injuries sustained, and estimated costs of damages. They are meant to provide a general idea of what settlement ranges could look like and should not be taken as definitive expectations for your case.

Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to provide clear and adequate warnings about the serious health risks associated with their products, ensuring consumers can make informed decisions about their healthcare.
Legal action is being pursued on behalf of those affected by Depo-Provera, seeking justice and compensation for the harm caused by the failure to properly warn users of these dangerous side effects.
Reach out to our Depo-Provera Lawyers today. We’re here to help you.
When considering potential settlement amounts for Depo-Provera Lawsuits, a variety of factors must be taken into account.
Depo-Provera Lawsuits are being filed by individuals who developed serious health conditions, such as brain tumors, after using Depo-Provera, particularly for long-term use.
Estimated settlement amounts can vary significantly depending on the severity of the plaintiff’s condition, the impact on their life, and the degree of negligence attributed to the drug manufacturer, Pfizer Inc.
Lawyers estimate that settlements may range from $100,000 to $500,000 or more, with several key factors influencing where a particular case might fall within that range.
These include the extent of the health complications caused by Depo-Provera, the medical costs associated with treating the condition, any long-term or permanent damage, and the emotional and financial toll on the plaintiff and their family.
Other factors, such as the ability to prove a direct link between Depo-Provera and the brain tumor, as well as whether the plaintiff can show that Pfizer failed to provide adequate warnings, will also play a role in determining compensation.
The severity of the brain tumor and how it affects a person’s ability to function in their daily life will likely weigh heavily on the potential settlement amount.
Disclaimer: Please be advised that any projected or estimated settlement amounts mentioned on this page are general estimations and are not guaranteed.

Plaintiffs who required extensive brain surgery to remove tumors, especially those with long-term or permanent cognitive, motor, or sensory impairments, are the most likely to potentially secure the highest settlements.
Depo-Provera Lawyers estimate the highest tier of potential settlements to range between $300,000 to over $500,000.
These cases may involve significant medical expenses and long-term care needs.
If the plaintiff has experienced a total or near-total loss of their ability to work, resulting in substantial lost wages and future earning potential, lawyers will advocate for compensation in this range or more.
The financial burden on families in these situations can also be immense, requiring compensation for additional costs associated with the broader impact on the patient’s life.
Plaintiffs who underwent brain surgery and made a partial recovery but still face some lingering effects may be eligible for settlements within this range.
Depo-Provera Lawyers estimate potential settlements for moderate cases to range between $200,000 to $300,000.
These cases often involve significant medical costs, ongoing treatments, and partial lost wages due to limited work capacity.
While plaintiffs may not face lifelong disabilities, they typically experience a noticeable reduction in their quality of life and ability to enjoy daily activities.
The emotional distress caused by ongoing medical care and reduced functionality will be considered when determining compensation for pain and suffering.
These cases also often require future medical monitoring and follow-up care, further contributing to the settlement amount.
Plaintiffs who did not require surgery but must undergo regular medical monitoring for their brain tumors may fall into this lower settlement range.
Depo-Provera Lawyers estimate settlements for mild to moderate cases to range between $100,000 to $200,000.
These individuals may experience mild symptoms such as headaches or vision changes but do not face significant physical impairments or permanent damage.
Although the impact on daily life and work may be manageable, the ongoing burden of living with a potential health risk still warrants compensation.
Plaintiffs in this tier may continue working and managing their condition with relatively minimal disruption, but their legal claims still address the risks and challenges posed by their medical situation.
Depo-Provera Lawsuits allege that the injectable contraceptive, manufactured by Pfizer, has been linked to serious health risks, particularly the development of brain tumors like intracranial meningiomas.
Plaintiffs argue that Pfizer failed to adequately warn consumers about the increased risk of these tumors, especially after long-term use of the medication.
Women who have used Depo-Provera for over 12 months are reportedly at a significantly higher risk of developing these tumors, which can lead to severe complications, including headaches, seizures, vision problems, and cognitive impairments.
Depo-Provera Lawsuits seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the long-term impact on the plaintiff’s life caused by the development of brain tumors.
In many cases, patients have required invasive surgeries to remove the tumors, resulting in significant medical costs and ongoing care needs.
If successful, these lawsuits could provide significant compensation to affected individuals and their families, helping them manage the medical and personal burdens caused by the drug.
If you’ve suffered brain tumors as a result of Depo-Provera usage, you may be eligible to file a Depo Provera Shot Lawsuit and seek compensation.

No, there is not a class action lawsuit for Depo-Provera patients who have developed brain tumors.
Lawsuits surrounding prolonged Depo Provera use and the risk of developing brain tumors are being considered for multidistrict litigation (MDL).
MDL differs from a class action in that each plaintiff in an MDL retains their own individual lawsuit, allowing for personalized compensation based on their unique circumstances and damages.
In a class action, all plaintiffs are treated as part of a single entity, and any settlement or verdict is distributed equally among them.
MDL is often chosen for cases like these because it consolidates pretrial processes, such as discovery, while still preserving the individual nature of each claim.
This helps streamline the legal process, making it more efficient to handle a large number of similar lawsuits, while ensuring that each plaintiff’s specific circumstances are considered.
A groundbreaking study published in The British Medical Journal (BMJ) in 2024 revealed a concerning link between long-term use of the contraceptive injection Depo-Provera and the development of intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor.
The study, conducted by researchers in France, analyzed data from over 18,000 women who underwent surgery to remove meningiomas, comparing their cases with a control group.
Meningiomas are typically benign tumors that grow in the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, but they can lead to severe complications depending on their size and location.
The study’s findings raised alarm because it demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the risk of developing these tumors in women who had used Depo-Provera for more than 12 months.
The hormone in Depo-Provera, medroxyprogesterone acetate, is a synthetic form of the hormone progestin, which plays a key role in reproductive health.
However, prolonged exposure to this hormone has been found to influence the growth of meningiomas, particularly in individuals exposed to high levels of progestogens over time.
The study has led to renewed scrutiny of the drug and its safety profile, prompting calls for updated warning labels and further investigation into the health risks associated with Depo-Provera.
Findings from the BMJ study include:
This study has been pivotal in the growing body of evidence that suggests women using Depo-Provera for extended periods may face significant health risks, particularly when it comes to brain tumor development.
Intracranial meningiomas, which develop in the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, can manifest in a variety of ways depending on their size, location, and growth rate.
While these tumors are typically benign, their presence in the brain can cause a range of neurological symptoms as they press on vital structures.
Early stages may not produce noticeable symptoms, but as the tumor grows, it can begin to interfere with brain function, leading to more severe complications.
The progression of symptoms often starts subtly, making early detection difficult, but as pressure on surrounding tissues increases, more pronounced and debilitating symptoms emerge.
Common symptoms of intracranial meningiomas include:
As these symptoms progress, timely diagnosis and treatment become essential to managing the condition and preventing further neurological damage.
Depo-Provera related brain tumors, such as intracranial meningiomas, can lead to a variety of serious complications due to the tumor’s location and its impact on critical brain functions.
As these tumors grow, they can place pressure on surrounding brain tissue, nerves, and blood vessels, causing a range of neurological and physical issues.
Even though meningiomas are generally benign, their size and position can lead to significant and sometimes irreversible complications.
The severity of these complications often depends on how early the tumor is detected and whether it can be fully removed or treated through medical intervention.
Potential complications of these brain tumors include:
Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to warn patients and healthcare providers about the potential risks associated with their products.
The Depo-Provera Lawsuits claim that Pfizer failed to provide adequate warnings, specifically to Depo-Provera patients who have taken the drug for more than a year.
Depo-Provera users who have developed brain tumors are actively filing lawsuits.
If you have used the Depo-Provera birth control shot and have suffered brain tumors or other serious health complications, you may be eligible to file a Depo-Provera Lawsuit.

Your lawyers will help you throughout the legal process, completing the crucial steps of gathering evidence and assessing damages related to your medical problems.
Strong evidence is crucial to pursuing a Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuit.
Demonstrating a clear link between the long-term use of Depo-Provera and the development of a brain tumor, such as an intracranial meningioma, is key to proving liability and securing compensation.
Gathering comprehensive documentation of your medical condition, prescription history, and the impact on your life will help strengthen your case.
Potential evidence in a Depo-Provera Lawsuit may include:
In legal terms, damages refer to the financial compensation a plaintiff may receive to account for the physical, emotional, and financial losses they have suffered as a result of harm caused by another party’s actions.
Damages are designed to compensate individuals for the significant impact the medication may have had on their health and quality of life.
A well-documented case can help you recover compensation for both direct costs, such as medical expenses, and less tangible losses, like pain and suffering.
Potential damages in a Depo-Provera Lawsuit may include:
Recent studies have shown that prolonged use of Depo-Provera may significantly increase the risk of developing intracranial meningiomas, a type of brain tumor.
These findings have prompted women to file lawsuits, alleging that Pfizer failed to provide adequate warnings about the potential risks associated with their contraceptive product.

As of 2024, the U.S. warning label for Depo-Provera does not specifically mention the increased risk of brain tumors, such as intracranial meningiomas.
Recent studies, however, have linked long-term use of Depo-Provera to a higher risk of developing these tumors, especially in women who have used the contraceptive for more than 12 months.
In contrast, the European Union and the United Kingdom have updated their labels to reflect the potential danger of brain tumor development with prolonged use.
Pfizer, the manufacturer of Depo-Provera, has indicated plans to update the U.S. label, but this has not yet occurred.
This omission is a key issue in ongoing lawsuits, where plaintiffs argue that users were not properly informed of the risks.
The Depo-Provera shot is an injectable form of birth control that contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone.
Depo-Provera works by preventing ovulation, which means that the ovaries do not release eggs for fertilization.
Without an egg being released, there is no possibility of sperm fertilizing an egg, thereby preventing pregnancy.
Depo-Provera thickens cervical mucus
Thickening cervical mucus makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and reach an egg.
The injection also thins the lining of the uterus, reducing the likelihood of a fertilized egg implanting, which adds another layer of protection against pregnancy.
Depo-Provera is administered once every three months, making it a convenient option for women who prefer long-term contraception without daily or monthly methods.
The injection is given either in the upper arm or buttock, and its effects last for about 12 weeks, providing continuous protection during that time.
Unlike some other forms of birth control, Depo-Provera does not contain estrogen, which can make it a suitable choice for women who cannot or prefer not to use estrogen-based contraceptives.
The shot is also used for medical purposes beyond birth control, such as managing conditions like endometrial hyperplasia or heavy menstrual bleeding.
While highly effective in preventing pregnancy, Depo-Provera can cause side effects, including changes in menstrual cycles, weight gain, and, with long-term use, an increased risk of bone density loss and other serious health complications.
It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if Depo-Provera is the right contraceptive option based on individual health needs.
Depo-Provera is manufactured by Pfizer Inc., one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
The contraceptive was originally developed by Upjohn, a pharmaceutical company that Pfizer acquired in 1995.
Depo-Provera was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992 as a long-term birth control option.
Pfizer also produces Depo-SubQ Provera 104, a lower-dose version of the injection.
Despite its effectiveness, Pfizer has faced lawsuits related to the drug’s side effects, including its potential increased risk to develop brain tumors.
The statute of limitations for filing a Depo-Provera lawsuit varies by state, but typically ranges from two to three years.
This time period begins either from the date the injury occurred or from when the plaintiff reasonably became aware of the connection between Depo-Provera use and the development of a brain tumor or other serious health complications.
In some cases, there may be exceptions that extend the statute of limitations, such as if the injury was discovered well after the use of the drug ended.
It is important to consult with an attorney to understand the specific deadlines in your state, as missing the statute of limitations can prevent you from filing a lawsuit.
Timely legal action ensures your right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
If you believe Depo-Provera has caused you harm, it’s crucial to act quickly to protect your legal rights.
