Depo-Provera Lawsuit Attorneys
Representing Depo-Provera Users Nationwide
Did you use the injectable medication Depo-Provera for birth control for more than one year? Have you been diagnosed with meningioma? There might be a direct connection between Depo-Provera use and your brain tumor.
Matthews & Associates is currently investigating the link between Depo-Provera and the rare form of brain tumor called meningioma, which seems to be a side effect that was not properly disclosed to consumers and medical professionals when the dangerous pharmaceutical product was released. Depending on your circumstances, you might be able to file a claim against Pfizer for your harm and losses. We’re here to help you determine your options and pursue justice and compensation.
Call (888) 923-7001 to talk to a Depo-Provera lawyer from our firm, or use an online contact form. We help clients nationwide.
What is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is an injectable birth control medication that is administered every 3 months. This “birth control shot” is used to interrupt ovulation and is mostly prescribed to women who cannot use other birth control alternatives.
Undisclosed Serious Side Effects of Depo-Provera
Virtually every medication and prescription drug has side effects, so why are some people filing injury claims against Pfizer for Depo-Provera side effects? The issue lies not with the disclosed side effects but with the undisclosed risk of meningioma that seems significant based on continued research and user testimonies.
How Dangerous is Meningioma?
Although meningioma is usually noncancerous, it should still be considered dangerous because it is a tumor that grows in the meningeal tissue of the brain. If a meningioma is not treated soon after it begins to form, it may grow, causing worsening health complications as it does.
Common symptoms of meningioma include:
- Vision loss
- Hearing loss
- Migraines
- Seizures
To remove a meningioma brain tumor, surgery or radiation are the two most likely treatment options. Each form of treatment carries its own risks of complications, too. Furthermore, some meningioma tumors are inoperable.
If you have taken Depo-Provera, you should talk to your primary care physician about the risk of meningioma. Based on your overall health and any symptoms you may be showing, your doctor may want to run diagnostic tests to confirm the condition and reach a diagnosis.
Why Should Pfizer Be Liable for Depo-Provera Injuries?
Product manufacturers, including drugmakers, must make a reasonable and effective effort to warn consumers of all potential dangers. Failing to do so can make the product maker liable for any harm and losses suffered by consumers. In many states, strict product liability laws make it simpler for consumers to bring claims against product makers like Pfizer.
We may file or settle a claim individually or as part of a group on a case-by-case basis.
Whether your claim is filed individually or as part of a group fighting the same defendant, our goal is always to provide each of our clients with individual attention.
Compensation in a Depo-Provera Lawsuit
At Matthews & Associates, we have built our careers by fighting for the rights of people who were injured due to the negligence of powerful defendants like corporations and Big Pharma. If you were hurt after using Depo-Provera, we want to hear from you right away. It would be our honor to pursue every last dollar of compensation owed to you after Pfizer sold you an unsafe birth control drug.
Compensation that might be available in your claim includes:
- Medical treatment costs related to your meningioma diagnosis.
- Future care costs if you are disabled due to a brain injury.
- Wages you lost due to missing work while recovering.
- Income you won’t be able to earn in the future due to a disabling medical condition.
- Past and future pain and suffering.
How Much Time Do You Have to File a Depo-Provera Lawsuit?
The statute of limitations to file a Depo-Provera injury claim may depend on where you live. We help clients across the country, so we can tell you how much time you have based on your home state. In some states, the statute of limitations could be as brief as two years, starting when the side effects of Depo-Provera became noticeable or reasonably should have been noticed. You could have less time, though, so you should act fast.
