Who Qualifies for the Depo-Provera Lawsuit?

You may be eligible to file a Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuit if you received injections for an extended period and were later diagnosed with a qualifying condition—specifically meningioma, a tumor that forms on the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

General criteria for eligibility include:

Length of Use: You must have used Depo-Provera or a generic version for at least 12 months. This injectable contraceptive is typically administered every three months, so a full year means at least four doses.
Diagnosis Timeline (1–3 Years of Use): If you received injections for 1 to 3 years, your brain or spinal tumor diagnosis must have occurred within 12 months of your last Depo-Provera shot.
Diagnosis Timeline (3+ Years of Use): If you used Depo-Provera for more than three years, you may qualify even if your diagnosis occurred years later, as long as it happened at least 12 months after starting the injections.
Type of Tumor: The main injury associated with these lawsuits is meningioma. While often benign, these tumors can still require brain surgery, radiation, or long-term neurological treatment. In some cases, they may cause permanent cognitive or physical impairments.
Unknown Tumor Type: Even if your medical team hasn’t confirmed the exact type of brain or spinal cord tumor, you may still have a case. Our Depo-Provera injury lawyers will work with you to obtain and review your medical records to see if your condition meets the legal criteria.

If you meet any of the above conditions—or think you might—Hoover Rogers Law, LLP can provide a free case evaluation. We’ll help you determine whether you qualify and walk you through the legal process every step of the way.

How Does a Meningioma Make You Feel? Watch Out For These Symptoms

A meningioma is a tumor that develops on the meninges—the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Although most meningiomas are non-cancerous, their location can cause serious neurological issues as they grow and press against critical structures in the brain or spine.

Common symptoms of a meningioma include:

Persistent headaches: One of the most common early warning signs, these headaches often feel different from typical tension or sinus headaches. They may become more frequent or intense over time and don’t always respond to over-the-counter medication.
Vision changes or vision loss: Tumors pressing on the optic nerve or visual centers of the brain can cause blurry vision, double vision, or even partial blindness. Some people experience “tunnel vision” or a gradual reduction in visual field.
Seizures: A meningioma can irritate the brain tissue and trigger seizures, even in people with no prior history of epilepsy. Seizures may involve full-body convulsions or subtler symptoms like brief blackouts, muscle jerks, or sensory changes.
Memory problems or confusion: As the tumor disrupts brain function, patients may notice forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, or trouble processing information. These cognitive changes can interfere with daily activities and work.
Weakness in limbs: If the tumor puts pressure on areas that control movement, it may lead to weakness or numbness in the arms or legs. This can make walking, lifting, or performing fine motor tasks more difficult.
Hearing loss: Meningiomas located near the auditory nerves or brainstem may cause partial or complete hearing loss in one or both ears. Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is also a common complaint.

Depending on the size and location of the tumor, treatment may involve brain surgery, radiation, or ongoing imaging and symptom management. Early diagnosis is critical—and if Depo-Provera contributed to your diagnosis, a legal claim may help you cover the cost of treatment, lost income, and other damages.

Why Depo-Provera Is Linked to Brain Tumors

Depo-Provera is an injectable birth control medication that contains medroxyprogesterone acetate—a synthetic form of the hormone progestin. It’s typically administered every three months and works by preventing ovulation. While Depo-Provera has long been marketed as a convenient alternative to daily pills, medical researchers have raised growing concerns about the drug’s long-term safety.

Multiple studies suggest that extended exposure to synthetic progestins may increase the risk of developing hormone-sensitive tumors, including meningiomas. These tumors grow from the meninges—the membranes that protect the brain and spinal cord—and often contain receptors that respond to hormonal signals. In some cases, progestins can accelerate tumor growth, particularly when exposure lasts for years.

What makes this even more troubling is that many women who received Depo-Provera injections were not warned about this potential risk. Despite mounting evidence of a connection between progestin-based birth control and brain tumors, drug manufacturers have been slow to update their warning labels or alert the public.

That’s why Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuits are now being pursued nationwide. Victims and their families are demanding accountability for the physical, emotional, and financial harm caused by this widely used contraceptive. At Hoover Rogers Law, LLP, our attorneys are helping clients in Wichita Falls, Lawton, and throughout the region take legal action and seek justice for the injuries they’ve endured.

What Compensation Could Be Available?

If you qualify for a Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuit, you may be able to recover compensation for:

Medical expenses, including surgery and follow-up care — Treatment for meningiomas can involve advanced imaging tests, consultations with specialists, hospital stays, neurosurgery, and radiation therapy. Even non-cancerous tumors may require years of monitoring and follow-up appointments. A Depo-Provera injury claim can help recover past and future medical costs related to your diagnosis and care.
Lost income or reduced earning ability — If your tumor symptoms or treatment forced you to take time off work—or if long-term cognitive or physical impairments prevent you from returning to your job—you may be able to recover lost wages. In more serious cases, compensation can also account for diminished future earnings or career changes due to disability.
Pain and suffering, including cognitive or neurological impacts — Brain and spinal tumors can lead to chronic pain, headaches, fatigue, and neurological complications such as memory loss, seizures, or speech issues. These effects can dramatically reduce your quality of life. A Depo-Provera brain tumor lawyer can help pursue compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve endured.
Emotional distress — The emotional toll of a brain tumor diagnosis can be just as heavy as the physical symptoms. Many patients experience anxiety, depression, fear about the future, and frustration due to changes in their cognitive or emotional state. Mental health challenges stemming from Depo-Provera complications may also be factored into your claim.
Long-term disability or life care needs — In cases where the tumor causes permanent damage or disability, compensation may cover the cost of long-term care. This can include home modifications, mobility aids, in-home support, or relocation to a facility that can provide appropriate medical and personal assistance.

Every Depo-Provera injury case is different. That’s why speaking with an attorney who can assess your situation and build a personalized legal strategy is critical. At Hoover Rogers Law, LLP, we take the time to understand how your diagnosis has affected your health, your work, and your future—then we fight to get the full compensation you deserve.
