Depo-Provera Legal Updates and News
As the evidence linking Depo-Provera to serious health risks continues to grow, lawsuits are being filed across the country by women who have developed meningiomas after using the drug. Below are the latest updates on this emerging litigation.
- Depo-Provera Lawsuit UpdatesLawyers are actively reviewing Depo-Provera lawsuits across all 50 states. Recent scientific studies have provided evidence that using Depo-Provera can cause brain tumors. Women who used Depo-Provera and subsequently developed a meningioma brain tumor can bring a lawsuit seeking financial compensation. This new evidence is expected to lead to a wave of Depo-Provera lawsuits across the country.
- Depo-Provera Lawsuit Filed in CaliforniaA woman from California has filed a lawsuit claiming that Depo-Provera caused her to develop a life-threatening brain tumor. She alleges that Pfizer and other companies failed to disclose the risks despite decades of scientific evidence linking the drug to meningioma. The plaintiff used Depo-Provera injections from 1999 to 2018 and was diagnosed with a large intracranial meningioma requiring invasive surgery.
- California Woman Sues Over Inoperable Brain TumorA lawsuit was filed in the Central District of California by a woman who used Depo-Provera for nearly 25 years, alleging that the contraceptive caused her to develop a calcified meningioma. Due to the tumor's nature, it is inoperable, resulting in chronic pain and ongoing symptoms. The plaintiff seeks compensation, asserting that Pfizer's failure to warn about the risks of prolonged Depo-Provera use has significantly impacted her health and quality of life.
- Indiana Woman Files Depo-Provera LawsuitAn Indiana woman has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, alleging that her 20-year use of Depo-Provera led to the development of an intracranial meningioma. The plaintiff claims that Pfizer failed to warn about the risks of brain tumors associated with long-term use of the contraceptive. After undergoing invasive brain surgery and radiation treatments due to the tumor's aggressive regrowth, she continues to suffer from serious health complications. This case adds to the growing number of legal actions against Pfizer by individuals affected by meningiomas linked to Depo-Provera.
- New Depo-Provera Lawsuit FiledA recent lawsuit was filed in Indiana by a woman who developed a meningioma after years of receiving Depo-Provera injections. The plaintiff claims that Pfizer failed to warn her about the risks of brain tumors linked to long-term use of the contraceptive. After undergoing invasive brain surgery, the plaintiff continues to suffer from complications, including memory loss and fatigue. This case adds to the growing number of claims being brought against Pfizer, seeking compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial toll of these tumors.
- Depo-Provera Settlement Discussions BeginWhile it’s still early in the litigation process, initial discussions about potential settlements have begun. Experts predict that this litigation may follow the path of similar cases involving defective drugs, where bellwether trials are used to gauge the strength of the plaintiffs' claims. Depending on the outcomes of these early trials, Pfizer may be inclined to settle the lawsuits before going to trial.
- Bellwether Trials Expected in 2025The first bellwether trials in the Depo-Provera litigation are expected to begin mid-2025. These test cases will provide insight into how juries may respond to the evidence linking Depo-Provera to brain tumors. A favorable outcome for plaintiffs in these trials could lead to substantial settlements for other claimants.
- Statute of Limitations ConcernsLawyers for potential plaintiffs are advising women who have developed brain tumors after using Depo-Provera to act quickly, as the statute of limitations may limit their ability to file a claim. However, many legal experts argue that the discovery rule—allowing claims to be filed once a plaintiff becomes aware of the connection between their condition and the drug—will often apply, giving plaintiffs more time to take legal action.
