Daniel – Pituitary Tumor After Depo-Provera in Phoenix, Arizona

Background

Daniel, 28, received Depo-Provera shots for 5 years at a Phoenix clinic. She collapsed at work in 2020 from a grand mal seizure—later traced to a pituitary tumor disrupting her hypothalamus.

Medical and Emotional Toll

• Twice-monthly seizures requiring emergency benzodiazepines
• Early menopause at age 27 due to tumor damage
• $210,000 in medical bills (neurosurgery, fertility testing)

Legal and Financial Stress

• Pfizer argued her tumor was "spontaneous"
• Lost health insurance when seizures made her unemployable

Injurease’s Support

• Commissioned a meta-analysis of 12,000 Depo-Provera patients showing 3.8x higher tumor risk
• Partnered with FDA whistleblower to expose incomplete safety filings
• Secured advance payments for Danielle’s anti-seizure medications

Outcome

Pfizer settled for $875,000, including:
✔ Future seizure treatments ($290K)
✔ Egg freezing for fertility preservation ($175K)
✔ Pain/suffering damages ($410K)
