2 years from diagnosis

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Alaska women diagnosed with meningioma after Depo-Provera use have a 2-year statute of limitations from the date of diagnosis. Alaska's remote communities relied heavily on Depo-Provera as a convenient contraceptive option, and Alaska Native women may have been disproportionately prescribed the injectable. All federal claims file into MDL 3140 in the Northern District of Florida.
