When is the deadline for filing a Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuit?

Time limits for these lawsuits work differently in each state.

Your deadline starts either when doctors find your tumor or when you learn Depo-Provera might have caused it - whichever came later.

Key factors that influence your filing deadline include:

• The date of your meningioma diagnosis
• When you first received Depo-Provera injections
• When you discovered or reasonably should have found that Depo-Provera may have caused your brain tumor
• The specific statute of limitations in your state
• Whether you’re filing an individual lawsuit or joining mass tort litigation

Recent developments have impacted filing deadlines:

• The British Medical Journal study showing the 5.6-fold increased risk of meningioma in Depo-Provera users
• Pfizer’s public acknowledgment in April 2024 regarding the potential risks
• The first Depo-Provera lawsuit was filed in October 2024, establishing a precedent for similar cases

Once your deadline passes, courts won't let you file.
