Depo-Provera Claims | The Harris Firm LLC

Used Depo-Provera and Diagnosed With a Meningioma? You May Have a Claim.

Research has linked long-term use of the Depo-Provera birth control shot to meningioma, a tumor that grows in the tissue surrounding the brain. The Harris Firm LLC is accepting these claims across Alabama — the consultation is free, sign-up is handled by phone and email, and there is no attorney fee unless there is a recovery.

If you received Depo-Provera injections and were later diagnosed with a meningioma, a five-minute phone call will tell you whether you qualify. Free consultation. No fee unless you recover. Deadlines apply.

What Depo-Provera Is — and What the Lawsuits Allege

Depo-Provera is a birth control shot given every three months, used by millions of American women since the 1990s. Its active ingredient is medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic progestin. For many women it was the most convenient contraceptive available — no daily pill, no device, just four injections a year at a clinic.

In March 2024, researchers published a large case-control study in the BMJ finding that women who used medroxyprogesterone acetate for a year or more faced a materially higher risk of developing intracranial meningioma — a tumor of the membranes surrounding the brain. Meningiomas are usually non-cancerous, but that word undersells them: they can compress brain tissue and nerves, cause vision loss, hearing loss, seizures, and memory problems, and often require brain surgery or radiation to treat.

The lawsuits allege the manufacturer knew or should have known about this risk and failed to warn women and their doctors in the United States — even as warnings appeared on labels in other countries. Those claims are now proceeding in coordinated federal litigation, where cases from across the country are consolidated before one court for efficient pretrial handling.

Who Can Bring a Depo-Provera Claim

Every litigation has its own qualifying criteria, and they can shift as the cases develop. As of now, the strongest Depo-Provera claims generally involve both of the following:

1. Meaningful use. You received Depo-Provera (or its authorized generic) injections for roughly a year or more — typically two or more shots. Longer use tends to mean a stronger claim. Pharmacy records, clinic records, or health department records can usually prove this even if it was decades ago.

2. A meningioma diagnosis. You were diagnosed with an intracranial meningioma — whether or not it required surgery. Women who underwent craniotomy or radiation generally have the highest-value claims, but a monitored, untreated meningioma can still qualify.

Not sure your records still exist? That is our job, not yours. Alabama clinics and pharmacies keep records longer than most people expect, and we know how to get them.

Compensation in Depo-Provera Cases

A meningioma is not a paperwork problem — it is brain surgery, radiation, MRIs every six months, missed work, and fear. Compensation in these claims can account for medical expenses past and future, lost income, and the pain, suffering, and disruption the tumor caused. Cases involving surgery, permanent deficits, or recurring tumors are valued accordingly.

No lawyer can honestly promise you a number, and we will not. What we can promise is that your claim will be documented thoroughly and valued on your injuries — not rushed into somebody’s settlement average.
