California Depo-Provera Lawsuits
Contraception Injection Drug May Cause Brain Tumors
Depo-Provera has long been marketed as a reliable contraceptive, but recent claims suggest the injectable drug may raise the likelihood of developing brain tumors. While these tumors are typically noncancerous, they often come with high treatment costs and can lead to severe neurological complications that require further medical care.
If you or someone you love was diagnosed with meningioma after using Depo-Provera, you might qualify for compensation. Our experienced legal team at Matthews & Associates can validate your claim, estimate the damages you could recover, and help you pursue legal action. Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost income, and other financial impacts caused by serious side effects related to Depo-Provera that the manufacturer did not warn about.

What Is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera, produced by Pfizer, is a contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, a hormone that works by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining.
The injection is administered every three months and was initially promoted as a safe and convenient option for preventing pregnancy. However, in 1978, the FDA banned Depo-Provera over concerns about its potential link to cancer. After further review and research, the drug was reapproved for contraceptive use in 1992.

This deadline, known as the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, applies to all Depo-Provera lawsuits in the California. Failing to file within this timeframe could prevent you from pursuing compensation, so it’s essential to act quickly if you suspect harm caused by Depo-Provera.
Contact a qualified legal professional as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe.
