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?

Mississippi women diagnosed with meningioma after Depo-Provera use have a 3-year products liability statute of limitations. Mississippi has the highest percentage of Black residents of any state (approximately 38%), and national data shows Black women used Depo-Provera at disproportionately higher rates. The combination of high exposure and limited healthcare access makes Mississippi a critical state in the Depo-Provera litigation.
