When facing a serious health condition, understanding how to seek justice and recover damages is crucial—especially when the harm results from the use of a prescribed medication. This is particularly true for women who used Depo-Provera, and its generic equivalents, for birth control. Recent medical research suggests that prolonged use of the injectable contraceptive Depo-Provera may increase a women’s risk of developing a meningioma, a type of brain tumor, by over 400%.
Our legal team is currently representing women who developed a meningioma after using Depo-Provera for an extended period. These brain tumors can have devastating impacts on daily life, including acute and chronic neurological symptoms, cognitive impairments, and even the need for invasive brain surgery.
Our legal team is also representing individuals who received four or more consecutive injections of Depo-Provera or its generic equivalents and are concerned about the increased risk of developing a meningioma.
Through our advocacy and in-depth knowledge of pharmaceutical litigation, we aim to help clients secure the compensation they deserve. Whether it’s through recovering medical expenses or lost wages, or seeking damages for pain and suffering, our team fights to ensure clients receive awards that reflect the full scope of their losses.
Seeking Justice and Accountability
Our approach is meticulous. Working with leading medical and scientific experts, we analyze the exposure by Depo-Provera and the extent of harm caused and build comprehensive cases that detail the real and specific damages suffered by our clients.
A user of Depo-Provera may have been diagnosed with a meningioma that required surgical removal after using the drug for several years. The resulting medical expenses, combined with lost income and ongoing cognitive challenges, can be life-altering.
Some women may have developed severe neurological symptoms linked to meningioma after long-term use of Depo-Provera. The company’s lack of warning about these risks leave users unaware of the potential danger until it is too late. By presenting detailed expert reports on the risks of Depo-Provera and the impact on our clients’ lives, we can seek compensation for the financial resources needed for ongoing care.
No amount of compensation can erase the physical and emotional toll of living with a brain tumor, and the consequences of surgery. However, it can reduce the financial strain and provide clients with the support they need to move forward.
