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?

West Virginia women diagnosed with meningioma after Depo-Provera use have a 2-year products liability statute of limitations. West Virginia's rural Appalachian communities relied heavily on Depo-Provera through community health centers and family planning programs — the drug's quarterly dosing was valued in areas with limited pharmacy access. Charleston and Huntington are the primary healthcare hubs. All federal claims file into MDL 3140.
