Ozempic

Ozempic (semaglutide) and related GLP-1 receptor agonist medications are widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes and weight loss. Lawsuits allege that these drugs can cause severe gastrointestinal injuries, including gastroparesis (stomach paralysis), severe vomiting, bowel obstruction, and in some cases vision loss (NAION), and that manufacturers did not adequately warn patients and doctors about these risks. TortAdvisor connects people who suffered serious injuries after taking Ozempic or similar GLP-1 drugs with attorneys who specialize in these claims.

Do You Qualify for an Ozempic Lawsuit?

You may have a claim if you or a loved one:

• Took Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Trulicity, Rybelsus, or a similar GLP-1 medication
• Were diagnosed with gastroparesis, severe gastrointestinal injury, bowel obstruction, or vision loss during or after treatment
• Required hospitalization, surgery, or ongoing medical treatment because of the injury
• Were not adequately warned about these risks before starting the medication

Legal Status of Ozempic Lawsuits

Thousands of Ozempic and GLP-1 drug injury claims have been filed in federal court and coordinated in multidistrict litigation (MDL) to streamline pretrial proceedings while each plaintiff’s case is evaluated individually. Plaintiffs allege the manufacturers failed to adequately warn about the risk of severe gastrointestinal injury. As the litigation progresses, bellwether trials and settlement negotiations typically follow coordinated discovery.

What Compensation May Cover

• Medical expenses, including hospitalization, surgery, and ongoing treatment
• Pain and suffering
• Lost income during treatment and recovery
• Other documented damages related to the injury

How the Claims Process Works

An attorney will typically review your prescription history, diagnosis, and treatment records to confirm your case fits current filing criteria. Case reviews are generally free, and injury attorneys in this space typically work on contingency, meaning there are no upfront legal fees.
