Depo-Provera Settlement Amounts 2026: Payout Tiers and Case Value
Depo-Provera settlement amounts have not yet been established through a global court-approved settlement program. Any current payout figures are projections that may help organize claim-value factors—not confirmed averages, offers or guaranteed compensation.
As of the June 1, 2026 federal MDL report, 5,508 actions were pending in Depo-Provera MDL 3140. The court’s June 23, 2026 order addressed how preemption and Rule 702 rulings apply across individual actions, and the court lists a Rule 702 motions hearing for July 27, 2026.

How TortAdvisor Estimates Depo-Provera Settlement Amounts
Because MDL 3140 has no announced payout matrix, TortAdvisor’s ranges are planning estimates rather than historical averages. We organize the same categories that commonly influence mass-tort valuation while clearly labeling the limits of the model.
Injury Severity
Tumor size, location, recurrence, neurological effects, surgery, radiation and prognosis.
Proof of Use
Injection records, pharmacy records, clinic records, insurance data and duration of use.
Economic Loss
Medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, disability and future-care needs.
Litigation Risk
Causation evidence, preemption rulings, expert admissibility, jurisdiction and filing deadlines.
Depo-Provera Settlement Amounts by Claim Profile
| Claim Profile | Illustrative Range | Factors That May Raise Value | Factors That May Reduce Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monitoring / lower symptom burden | $100,000–$300,000 | Long documented use, clear diagnosis timing, ongoing surveillance and meaningful out-of-pocket costs. | No treatment, incomplete use records, competing risk factors or limitations problems. |
| Surgery / moderate impairment | $300,000–$750,000 | Craniotomy, extended recovery, persistent symptoms, wage loss and strong pharmacy records. | Good recovery, limited economic loss, short use duration or disputed product identity. |
| Recurrent / severe impairment | $750,000–$1.5 million+ | Multiple surgeries, radiation, cognitive or neurological disability, future care and major income loss. | Causation disputes, alternative causes, evidentiary gaps or state-law defenses. |
| Wrongful death / catastrophic loss | Case-specific; potentially above severe-injury tier | Strong medical causation, dependency loss, funeral costs and substantial lifetime economic loss. | Standing disputes, causation disputes, statutory damage limits or expired deadlines. |
Who May Qualify for Depo-Provera Settlement Amounts?
Eligibility is not determined by a settlement calculator alone. A lawyer must review product use, diagnosis, timing, defendants, state law and available evidence.
Common Screening Factors
- Use of Depo-Provera or injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate
- Diagnosis of an intracranial meningioma after or during use
- Medical imaging, pathology or neurology documentation
- Pharmacy, clinic, OB/GYN, insurance or injection records
- A claim that remains within the applicable filing period
Factors Requiring Closer Review
- Generic product use or uncertain manufacturer identification
- Incomplete injection records or uncertain treatment dates
- Meningioma diagnosis before Depo-Provera exposure
- Prior release, bankruptcy claim or settlement affecting rights
- Other medical or legal causation issues

Factors That May Increase or Reduce Depo-Provera Settlement Amounts
Duration and Frequency of Use
Longer and better-documented injection histories may strengthen proof of exposure, but duration alone does not establish causation.
Tumor Severity and Location
Tumor location, size, recurrence and effects on vision, cognition, balance, speech or other neurological functions may influence damages.
Treatment Intensity
Craniotomy, radiation, hospitalization, rehabilitation and ongoing monitoring can increase documented medical damages.
Permanent Impairment
Long-term disability, cognitive changes, seizures, loss of independence and future-care needs may materially affect valuation.
Economic Damages
Past and future medical bills, lost earnings, reduced earning capacity, travel and caregiving costs require documentation.
Legal and Scientific Proof
Product identification, diagnosis timing, expert testimony, preemption issues and applicable state law can strengthen or reduce a claim.

What is the average Depo-Provera settlement amount?
No reliable average exists because MDL 3140 has no announced global personal-injury settlement or court-approved payout matrix. Current ranges are projections, not historical averages.
How much could a severe Depo-Provera meningioma claim be worth?
Illustrative models sometimes place severe, recurrent or permanently disabling claims in a range of $750,000 to $1.5 million or more. This is not a guaranteed payout and an actual outcome could be lower, higher or zero.
Has Pfizer announced a Depo-Provera settlement?
No global court-approved personal-injury settlement program has been announced. The federal litigation remains active and is addressing expert evidence, preemption and individual case development.

The June 1, 2026 JPML report listed 5,508 pending actions in MDL 3140. Case counts change as actions are filed, transferred, dismissed or resolved.
What evidence is most important?
Injection or pharmacy records, imaging, pathology, neurology records, treatment history, medical bills, wage-loss evidence and a clear use-and-diagnosis timeline are commonly important.
Is the settlement calculator legally binding?
No. The calculator provides an educational estimate based on limited inputs. It does not establish eligibility, create an attorney-client relationship or guarantee compensation.
Will every claimant receive the same amount?
No. Any future settlement may use injury tiers, proof requirements, points, deductions, liens and individual review. Claim values can differ substantially.
Should I wait for a settlement before contacting a lawyer?
No. Filing deadlines may expire before settlement negotiations occur. A lawyer should evaluate the claim and deadline promptly.
