About the Depo-Provera Lawsuit Sign Up Process:

Depo-Provera Lawsuit Sign Up Process

If you would like to join the Depo-Provera lawsuit, you need to follow a formal claim process. Your lawyer will guide you through each step of the process and help you understand what to expect before and after you submit a claim form to pursue a lawsuit.

If you have any questions about the lawsuit, your eligibility, or the formal process, feel free to contact our team directly. King Law provides personalized legal guidance and can be reached at 585.496.2648. We can answer your questions and help you complete the steps so you can pursue the compensation you deserve for your losses associated with the Depo-Provera shot.

Step 1: Fill Out the Depo-Provera Claim Form and Submit It to Your Attorney

If you were administered Depo-Provera at least twice and developed a brain tumor after those injections, you may qualify for a lawsuit. If you meet those criteria, you can fill out the claim form. This is the form you fill out to talk to a law firm who can help you sign up for the Depo-Provera lawsuit.

When you fill out the claim form, it is best to provide comprehensive and accurate details. Doing so may help shorten how long it takes our attorney’s team to review your case. That said, if you do not have all the information at that time, you can still submit the form and supply the rest of the details later. Our team understands that many women took Depo-Provera decades ago and gathering information will take time. We will use our experience to help you track down your health records.

How to Complete the Depo-Provera Claim Form

On the Depo-Provera claim form, you will find questions about your medical history. For example, the form asks you to provide any details you feel are relevant to your situation. You could give the approximate date for when you received your first Depo injection and when symptoms of an intracranial meningioma started. Finally, you will need to provide your contact information.

Information Needed to Fill Out the Claim Form

Some of the information requested on the sign-up form includes your name, contact information, and confirmation of how many doses of Depo-Provera you received. You may also want to describe the treatments for your meningioma, such as surgery or medications. You may also include how your brain tumor has affected your life.

How to Submit the Claim Form to Your Attorney

When you are finished filling out the claim form, you are ready to submit it to an intake specialist or case manager. You an email the form to the email address listed on the form. You may also call the intake personnel at our firm directly at (585) 496-2648 to provide your answers to the form.

Once you send in this form, the intake team and attorney will begin reviewing your case and reach out to you to schedule an appointment. If you do not receive an answer within a few days, call the office to follow up and make sure your form was sent correctly.

Step 2: Sign the Retainer Agreement and Other Legal Documents

Once you submit the claim form, a member of our team will evaluate the information and call you if your Depo-Provera case can move forward. During this call, they will ask you to review a retainer agreement, which you will sign if you want a lawyer to represent your case. Additionally, they may ask you to sign HIPAA authorizations and other legal documents so the attorney can investigate and work on your case.

What Is a Retainer Agreement?

A retainer agreement gives you information about the attorney’s legal fees, including what services you pay for, at what rate, when, and how payment is made. For example, this document will say whether the lawyer charges hourly, on a contingency basis, flat rate, or some other method. The retainer agreement also explains what your responsibilities will be during the lawsuit process, such as answering the attorney’s calls in a timely manner and providing requested information.

How Contingency Fees and Costs Work

Many Depo-Provera attorneys do not require clients to pay up-front legal fees for the attorneys to handle their cases. Instead, the client’s attorney would receive a predetermined percentage of the settlement if the attorney wins the case for the client. Additionally, filing fees and other administrative expenses may also be paid for with part of the client’s settlement. If the attorney does not win the client’s case, they may not receive any compensation from the client. Our law firm works on a contingency fee basis, so people filing Depo-Provera lawsuits will not have to pay for legal services up front.

Other Authorization Forms You May Need to Sign

The attorney’s team may also ask you to sign additional documents, such as HIPAA authorizations, so they can request your medical records. They may also ask you to sign forms to start and file your Depo-Provera lawsuit. These permissions give your attorney the authority to investigate your case and gather materials they can use to build a strong legal strategy.

Step 3: Confirm Eligibility and Gather Documentation

Once you have filled out your claim form and started supplying documentation, your attorney will review your case to determine if you qualify for compensation based on real-life documentation from medical professionals.

You can prepare for your lawsuit by starting to gather relevant medical records. These records will likely contain information about when you received the birth control shot, information about your symptoms, and your diagnosis of an intracranial meningioma. These materials can help you and your lawyer investigate your claim and prove that the Depo-Provera shot was the cause of your brain tumor.

What Happens After Your Case Is Accepted

If the attorney believes you have a valid claim, they or their intake team will reach out to you to discuss next steps. As part of this, they may schedule an initial consultation or have you sign authorization forms for them to conduct further investigations.

Gather Depo-Provera Related Medical Records

You will need to provide medical information that shows your health history before, during, and after receiving the birth control shot. The idea is to establish that the meningiomas developed after you took the Depo-Provera injections.

Records you may want to share include annual physicals, pharmacy documents, and after-visit summaries from before and after you started the birth control shot regimen. Sharing these communications helps prove to the court that you received the shot and that you did not have an intracranial meningioma beforehand. Our team will help facilitate the record-gathering process.

Collect Diagnosis Records Showing Development of Meningioma

Next, we advise you on how to gather medical records about when your symptoms started. Such health records will likely show your medical team’s process for diagnosing and treating your brain tumor (intracranial meningioma). For example, you can locate after-visit summaries and test results from your providers, including your primary care doctor, neurologist, lab technicians, and specialists. Having official documentation from a hospital, doctor, or laboratory will help strengthen your claim.

Depo-Provera Prescriptions and Shot Schedule

You can help move the claims process forward by collecting records of what Depo-Provera shot you received (dosage), the timing and frequency, and the brand/manufacturer. To build your case, we will need details about the clinic, pharmacy, or doctor’s office that administered your birth control shots. We may also ask for insurance claims documents (e.g., explanation of benefits) to show when you started Depo-Provera and how many doses of the medication you received. We can work with the clinic, gynecologist, obstetrician, general practitioner, and your other providers to secure this documentation.

Step 4: Your Attorney Will Review Your Depo-Provera Claim Submission

Once you turn in the sign-up form and the requested medical materials, the legal team will review these materials to confirm you qualify to join the Depo-Provera lawsuit. They will also reach out to you to request additional information (if needed) and discuss your legal rights. The team may also talk to you about scheduling a virtual, phone, or in-person meeting with a lawyer.

Your Attorney Will Verify Eligibility Based on Your Records

Once you have submitted your medical records, your attorney will first decide if you are eligible for compensation through the Depo-Provera claims process. Your lawyer and their team will review how many doses of Depo-Provera you received and when you received your shots. Your lawyer will work to prove how Depo-Provera played a role in your brain tumor (meningioma). Additionally, your attorney will research the case-filing deadlines and updated medical research on Depo-Provera use and meningiomas.

When Will I Hear Back From My Attorney?

After you send in your form and requested materials, you will need to wait until the legal team has a chance to review your case and respond. Depending on where you are in the legal process (e.g., filling out a claim form for the first time versus supplying documentation for an existing case), this may take a few days or up to a couple of months. Sometimes, medical records requests can take a month or two. The exact time it takes for your attorney’s office to contact you depends on the accuracy of the form, how quickly your doctors respond to records requests, and other factors.

Step 5: Your Attorney Will File Your Claim

Now that you have signed the retainer agreement and authorizations, the attorney can begin filing your case. This may involve starting a new Depo-Provera lawsuit or submitting the proper forms to transfer your existing claim into the federal group lawsuit (called an MDL).

How Will My Attorney File My Claim?

To start your Depo-Provera claim, your lawyer will prepare and submit the legal complaint to the appropriate court. The legal complaint explains that you took the Depo-Provera injections, developed an intracranial meningioma because of it, and are eligible to request compensation. Your attorney may also transfer your case to the federal Depo-Provera multidistrict litigation (MDL) if they believe doing so is appropriate and in your best interests.

The Timeline and Your Involvement After Filing the Claim

A Depo-Provera lawsuit can last anywhere from a few months to several years. It depends on many factors, including the complexity of your claim, how quickly your attorney receives the information they need, and how the multidistrict litigation plays out in court. While your case is pending, your attorney will keep you updated on the progress and may ask you to provide additional documentation or participate in case-related depositions.

What to Know Before Signing Up For the Depo-Provera Lawsuit

Before you sign up for the Depo-Provera lawsuit, there are a couple of legal points to keep in mind. For example, you may benefit from knowing what deadlines you need to follow and whether your personal health information will remain confidential throughout the case. If you choose to pursue a Depo-Provera claim, it is important to make sure you have the information to do so freely and confidently.

Sign Up Deadlines and Statute of Limitations

Each state has its own deadlines (called the statute of limitations) for how long someone has to file a Depo-Provera personal injury claim. These deadlines may be a few years after your intracranial meningioma diagnosis, and there are exceptions that can change the exact timeframe you need to follow when starting your case. The sooner you accurately submit your sign-up sheet, the better your chances are of meeting the filing deadline.

Medical Record Privacy and Confidentiality

Your legal team will keep your personal health information private and confidential in accordance with privacy and professional ethics laws. They will only share what is necessary for them to share so they can file a claim on your behalf. Additionally, whatever information they do share with co-counsel or the courts, such as your diagnosis and treatment details, will only be used to protect and exercise your legal rights.

What Happens If I Move or Change My Contact Information?

If you move or your contact information changes, you can reach out to your legal team to update their files. It is essential for your lawyer to know how to get in touch with you to communicate case events or request authorizations. Delays in your attorney’s ability to talk to you may also delay how long it takes to resolve your Depo-Provera claim.
