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?
Massachusetts women who developed meningioma after Depo-Provera injections have a 3-year statute of limitations for products liability. Boston's world-class medical institutions — including Mass General, Brigham and Women's, and Beth Israel — have diagnosed many meningiomas in former Depo-Provera users. Massachusetts law provides a discovery rule that may extend the filing deadline for women who only recently learned of the connection.
