Louisiana Depo-Provera lawsuits claim birth control manufacturers failed to safely protect women from meningioma. The contraceptive has been blamed for many unexpected brain tumors. (See our LA Depo-Provera News)
As such, our Louisiana Depo-Provera lawyers are filing meningioma lawsuits for birth control victims.

Our team of Louisiana Depo-Provera attorneys has represented thousands of victims of dangerous pharmaceutical products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue Depo-Provera compensation from birth control manufacturers, not from our clients’ doctors or caregivers.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While money damages may be available to qualified brain tumor patients, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim Louisiana Depo-Provera attorneys can make for meningioma compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations.

Louisiana Meningioma Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
LA Depo-Provera lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Louisiana, and 2) the severity of the brain tumor.
Louisiana State Depo-Provera Claims
When all parties reside in Louisiana, Depo-Provera lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (LA Courts Website). The Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for birth control claims.
The State of Louisiana follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a Louisiana Depo-Provera lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Pfizer regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. However, the meningioma victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
5th Circuit Depo-Provera Claims in Louisiana
Louisiana is part of the Fifth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual Depo-Provera lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Birth control appeals are heard by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the tumor is severe, Depo-Provera claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal Depo-Provera lawsuits filed in Louisiana may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a meningioma Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 5th Circuit Depo-Provera compensation.)
