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.

Where would my case be heard?

Iowa women who developed meningioma after Depo-Provera use have a 2-year products liability statute of limitations with a discovery rule. Iowa's community health centers and family planning clinics were key Depo-Provera distribution points, particularly in rural areas. The December 2025 FDA meningioma warning may trigger the discovery rule for Iowa women who only recently learned of the brain tumor link.
