Amanday – Depo-Provera Meningioma in Denver, Colorado

Background

Amanday, a 36-year-old nurse from Denver, received Depo-Provera injections for 9 years before experiencing tinnitus and balance issues in early 2022. A neurological exam detected a 3.8 cm meningioma pressing against her brainstem.

Medical and Emotional Toll

• Underwent stereotactic radiosurgery, resulting in permanent 40% hearing loss
• Developed mild aphasia (speech difficulty) due to tumor location
• $320,000 in medical bills (surgery, auditory rehab, speech therapy)
• Forced to resign from nursing due to impaired motor coordination

Legal and Financial Stress

• Pfizer argued her symptoms were "age-related"
• Disability claim denied twice due to "pre-existing condition" clause
• Depended on family support for basic living expenses

Injurease’s Support

• Secured depositions from 3 former Pfizer researchers confirming tumor risks
• Partnered with Johns Hopkins neurologist to testify about Depo-Provera’s role
• Negotiated early partial settlement ($200K) to cover urgent medical costs

Outcome

Pfizer settled for $950,000, including:
✔ Future hearing aids & speech therapy ($185K)
✔ Lost nursing career earnings ($490K)
✔ Pain and suffering damages ($275K)
