Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Overview of the Situation

Recently, a study found that women who used the Depo Provera shot were at an increased risk (5.6x increased risk) of developing meningioma when compared to women who did not use the depo shot. Pfizer, the manufacturer of the popular depo shot, is facing allegations for the failure to identify and warn of the risk of meningioma tumors related to the use of their products.

The birth control injection has been linked with a significant increased risk of tumors. Meningioma tumors are usually benign, although the location in which they can appear (in and around the brain as well as on the spinal cord) can lead to many complications, some of which could be life-threatening. Types of tumors include Grade I Meningioma (which account for about 85% of cases and are typically benign), Grade II Meningioma (which have a more aggressive growth rate and are likely to recur), and Grade III Meningioma (which have the most aggressive growth rate, most likely to metastasize, and most likely to recur).

Because of the location of these tumors, they must be treated. Most tumors can be treated surgically. Surgery for meningiomas, of course, comes with a number of risks, including infections, hemorrhages, leaking fluid, and more. Some tumors, however, can be non-respectable, so they cannot be removed with surgery; in these cases, aggressive treatments like radiation therapy can be the only treatment option.

Are Women Affected by the Depo Shot Eligible to Recover Compensation?

Yes, the women who developed tumors as a result of the use of the Depo Provera shot could be eligible to receive compensation if they pursue a claim against Pfizer. The right to sue for compensation is based on the drug manufacturer’s negligence. In other words, if you or a loved one developed a tumor and suffered any other additional harm associated with the use of the Depo Provera, you could have the right to sue and receive compensation.

What Compensation is Available for Women Affected by the Depo Shot?

The different categories of compensation available to recovery could include some of the following:

• Medical expenses – for all medical costs incurred as a result of the meningioma, including the costs of tests, follow-up appointments, imaging, surgery, prescription medication, and even the costs of mental health services.
• Lost wages – for all earnings lost as a result of the harm suffered.
• Pain and suffering – for the mental and emotional (or psychological) harm caused by the meningioma and the treatment of the meningioma.
• Punitive damages – awarded as a form of punishment towards the defendant.
• Legal costs – for absolutely all legal services

If the tumor is ultimately fatal, claimants could be eligible to recover wrongful death benefits, which could include funeral and burial costs and loss of consortium – or the lost ability to have a normal relationship with the victim.

Since every case is different, there is no guarantee that claimants will be eligible to receive every type of compensation listed above.

What are the Factors that Determine the Value of a Meningioma Tumor Depo Shot Lawsuit?

To determine the value of each meningioma tumor depo shot lawsuit, our experts must evaluate the facts or the details surrounding each specific case. The different factors that must be considered include the following:

• The total medical costs associated with getting a diagnosis and treating the tumor
• The extent of the mental and emotional suffering that occurred because of the meningioma
• Whether the victim sought mental health services to address her anguish and the total costs associated with said mental health services (including costs of medication to handle depression, anxiety, etc.)
• The total income that was lost as a result of the meningioma (this requires review of the victim’s wage history and time that she was unable to work and earn income)
• Whether the drug manufacturer was found to be grossly negligent
• And more

What is the Value of My Depo Provera Lawsuit for Meningioma?

This is a difficult question to answer. As mentioned above, many different factors must be evaluated to determine the value of these cases. Currently, there are no public settlements/verdicts associated with this matter, although litigation against Pfizer is ongoing.
