Depo Provera and brain tumors (meningioma)
Clear guidance, fast action, and proven results for Depo Provera and brain tumors (meningioma) cases in Alabama & Georgia
If you or a loved one developed a meningioma after Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate), you need answers—and a plan. Our drug-injury team serves clients across Alabama and Georgia, investigating whether inadequate warnings, dosing decisions, pharmacy errors, or delayed diagnosis contributed to preventable harm. We secure the medical proof, work with independent experts, and negotiate with insurers while you focus on treatment.
Common Causes — And the Proof That Wins
| Cause | Key Evidence |
|---|---|
| Prolonged use / higher cumulative exposure | Pharmacy fill history, dosing intervals, lot numbers, provider notes |
| Insufficient risk warnings or counseling | Historic package inserts, consent forms, clinic counseling records, label comparisons |
| Off-protocol refills / documentation gaps | EHR audit trails, pharmacy policies, appointment logs, nurse triage messages |
| Delayed workup of red-flag symptoms | Timeline of headaches/vision changes/seizures, referral delays, standard-of-care opinions |
| Causation linking tumor to progestin exposure | MRI/CT, pathology confirming meningioma, hormone-receptor findings, treating physician affidavits, peer-reviewed literature |
| Documented damages | Medical bills, wage loss, neurocognitive testing, life-care plan, family/employer statements |

- Alabama: Generally a 2-year statute of limitations; strict contributory negligence can bar recovery if you’re even 1% at fault.
