Depo-Provera Settlement Calculator 2026: Estimating a Depo-Provera Lawsuit Payout Amount

Trying to gauge a possible Depo-Provera lawsuit payout amount? This free Depo-Provera settlement calculator helps you organize the details that matter after repeated Depo-Provera or depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) shots and a later meningioma diagnosis: your injection history, treatment, neurological effects, medical records, lost wages and other losses.

Quick answer: Pfizer signed a Master Settlement Agreement for eligible federal Depo-Provera claims in July 2026, but its payout tiers have not been published, so no public chart can set the value of an individual claim. Value usually turns on claim-specific proof: documented use of the drug, a confirmed meningioma, how intensive treatment was, neurological impairment, financial losses, causation evidence, jurisdiction and program deadlines. The calculator gives an educational range, not an offer or a guarantee.

Essential Facts About Depo-Provera Meningioma Claims

Federal Depo-Provera product liability cases are consolidated as MDL No. 3140 before Judge M. Casey Rodgers in the Northern District of Florida. The JPML's August 3, 2026 report shows 6,294 pending actions and 6,394 historical actions.

Federal MDL Underway

MDL 3140 handles shared pretrial questions, while each plaintiff keeps an individual claim and individual damages.

MDL 3140 court page →

FDA Label Warning on Meningioma

Current FDA-approved prescribing information notes that meningiomas have been reported after repeated doses, mostly with long-term use.

FDA label →

Research Continues

Several observational studies link injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate to higher meningioma risk, especially with longer use.

See the studies →
Keep in mind: an association found in observational research does not prove causation for any one person, and consolidating cases in an MDL does not establish liability.
Screening Factors

Who May Qualify for a Depo-Provera Claim Review?

This page cannot decide eligibility. Attorneys looking at a possible claim may consider the type and length of DMPA use, when the diagnosis came, tumor type and location, treatment, medical proof, other risk factors, damages, defendants and the applicable deadline.

Facts That May Support a Review

  • Documented Depo-Provera or DMPA injections before the diagnosis
  • An intracranial meningioma confirmed by imaging or pathology
  • Extended or repeated injections shown in pharmacy, clinic or insurance records
  • Surgery, radiation, neurological symptoms, monitoring or future care needs
  • Documented medical bills, lost wages, disability or effects on quality of life

Issues That Need Closer Analysis

  • Uncertain injection dates or product
  • A diagnosis that predates use of the drug
  • Tumor type not clearly recorded as an intracranial meningioma
  • Gaps in imaging, pathology, pharmacy or provider records
  • Questions about the statute of limitations, jurisdiction or other deadlines
Missing records do not automatically rule you out. Pharmacies, clinics, insurers and medical providers may be able to help rebuild your use and treatment history.
Editorial Estimates

Illustrative Depo-Provera Lawsuit Payout Ranges

These ranges are Legal Lawsuit editorial planning estimates drawn from injury severity, treatment burden, neurological effects, proof of use and documented losses. They are not official averages, a court-approved grid, settlement offers or guaranteed amounts.

Illustrative Tier 1

Severe or Permanently Disabling Injury

$750,000–$1.5M+

Complex surgery, radiation, recurrence, lasting neurological deficits, extensive future care, large wage losses or well-documented impairment.

Editorial estimate by Legal Lawsuit only; actual results may be lower, higher or nothing.
Illustrative Tier 2

Surgery or Moderate-Impact Injury

$300,000–$750,000

Major surgery or treatment, ongoing symptoms, recovery limits, lost income, continued monitoring and solid proof of use.

Editorial estimate by Legal Lawsuit only; not an official tier.
Illustrative Tier 3

Confirmed Diagnosis With Lighter Treatment

$100,000–$300,000

A confirmed meningioma managed by monitoring or relatively limited treatment, with smaller financial losses, fewer lasting symptoms or less complete records.

Editorial estimate by Legal Lawsuit only; not a forecast of compensation.
There is no universal average. Value can shift substantially with causation evidence, tumor location, surgery, permanence, jurisdiction, deadlines, proof of use, defendants, liens and future rulings.
Medical Research Background

Research on Depo-Provera, Medroxyprogesterone Acetate and Meningioma

The science has moved fast. These studies are observational and offer population-level evidence, not a diagnosis or a causation finding for any individual.

2024 BMJ National Case-Control Study (France)

This French national study found an odds ratio of 5.55 linking injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate to intracranial meningioma requiring surgery, with the added risk driven by use lasting a year or more.

U.S. Population-Based Study

A retrospective U.S. cohort study reported a relative risk of 2.43 for a meningioma diagnosis among DMPA users versus controls, with greater risk tied to longer exposure.

Evidence Checklist

Records That Strengthen a Depo-Provera Claim Review

The calculator works best when your answers come from documents rather than memory.

  • Injection records with dates
  • Pharmacy, OB-GYN, clinic or insurer records showing use
  • MRI or CT scans confirming the meningioma
  • Pathology, neurology, oncology or neurosurgery notes
  • Records of craniotomy, radiation and hospital stays
  • Documentation of seizures, vision or hearing changes, headaches or cognitive effects
  • Medical bills and out-of-pocket costs
  • Proof of lost income and employment
  • Disability, caregiving and rehab records
  • Recommendations for future treatment or monitoring
  • A dated timeline from first injection to diagnosis
  • Evidence of how the condition affected daily life and work
Federal Court Timeline

Where MDL No. 3140 Stands

MDL 3140 is pending before Judge M. Casey Rodgers in the Northern District of Florida. An MDL coordinates shared pretrial work such as discovery and expert issues and is not a class action. In 2026 Pfizer and plaintiffs' leadership announced a global agreement in principle (June) followed by a Master Settlement Agreement (July) for eligible claims, with a court-appointed administrator handling registration; check current program deadlines with an attorney.

February 7, 2025: The JPML sent Depo-Provera product liability cases to the Northern District of Florida for coordinated pretrial proceedings.
August 3, 2026: The JPML's monthly report showed 6,294 pending and 6,394 historical actions in MDL 3140.
August 21, 2026: A case-management conference is listed on the official MDL page for 9:00 a.m. CT.
September 18, 2026: The court has scheduled another case-management conference followed by a Rule 702 motions hearing.
Why the Rule 702 hearing matters: Rulings on expert admissibility can decide which scientific causation opinions move forward, though they do not set any individual's damages.
Claim Valuation

What Affects a Depo-Provera Lawsuit Payout Amount?

1. Injection History

How long and how often you received injections, dosing records and reliable proof of use shape the exposure analysis.

2. Tumor Characteristics

Tumor location, size, recurrence, grade, symptoms and prognosis influence treatment burden and damages.

3. Surgery & Treatment

Craniotomy, radiation, hospital care, rehabilitation, monitoring and future treatment can significantly affect losses.

4. Neurological Effects

Documented problems with vision, hearing, seizures, balance, cognition or other neurological functions may increase damages.

5. Economic Loss

Medical costs, lost income, reduced earning ability, disability and caregiving expenses add to documented damages.

6. Legal and Evidence Risks

Causation rulings, expert evidence, jurisdiction, deadlines, defendants and alternative explanations can affect settlement leverage.

Calculator Method

How This Depo-Provera Calculator Works

The tool arranges your claim details into an early educational model. It does not apply a single universal multiplier and cannot replace medical, legal or records review.

1. Show Product Use

Enter how long you received injections and the best records you have showing Depo-Provera or DMPA use before diagnosis.

2. Add Diagnosis and Treatment

Use imaging, pathology, surgery, radiation, monitoring and neurological details whenever possible.

3. Add Damages

Include medical bills, lost wages, disability, future care, treatment burden and other documented losses.

Limits of the tool: It cannot decide legal causation, predict a Rule 702 ruling, calculate a state deadline or guarantee that an attorney will take the case.
Time Limits

Filing Deadlines for Depo-Provera Lawsuits

No single nationwide statute of limitations covers every Depo-Provera claim. Deadlines can depend on state law, the diagnosis date, discovery rules, earlier proceedings, defendant-specific issues and other facts.

Do not use this calculator to judge deadlines. A late claim can be barred even when the injury is serious, so the governing law and facts must be reviewed separately.

Common Questions

Depo-Provera Calculator FAQs

What does the Depo-Provera calculator estimate?

It turns your product use, meningioma diagnosis, treatment, neurological effects and losses into an educational value range, not a prediction of an actual settlement.

Is there an average Depo-Provera settlement amount?

No dependable average fits an individual claim. Current projected ranges are editorial models, not a court-approved payout schedule.

How many Depo-Provera cases are pending in MDL 3140?

According to the JPML's August 3, 2026 report, 6,294 actions are pending, a figure that shifts as cases are filed, transferred, dismissed or resolved.

Does the Depo-Provera label warn about meningioma?

Yes. Since a December 2025 revision, the prescribing information includes a meningioma warning noting reports after repeated doses, mainly with long-term use.

Does the research prove Depo-Provera caused my tumor?

No population study can settle that for one person. Medical causation requires a medical and legal analysis of your specific claim.

Does using the calculator make me an attorney's client?

No. Using this site or tool does not create an attorney-client relationship; representation requires a licensed attorney's acceptance and a signed engagement agreement.
