Do I Qualify for a GLP-1 Lawsuit?
Our legal team is focused on cases where patients suffered severe and often life-altering injuries after using a name-brand GLP-1 medication. We are currently evaluating claims involving the following diagnoses:
- Severe Gastroparesis (Stomach Paralysis)
- Ileus (Bowel Obstruction)
- Intraoperative Pulmonary Aspiration (Choking on stomach contents during surgery)
- Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy) – Note: For Ozempic users prior to the March 2022 label update.
- Other Serious Gastrointestinal Injuries requiring ER visits or hospitalization.
- Vision Loss (Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy – NAION)
- Suicidal Ideation or attempted suicide linked to the medication.
Check Your Eligibility:
- You took a name-brand GLP-1 drug (not a compounded version).\
- You used the medication for at least 30 days.
- You required medical treatment or hospitalization for one of the conditions listed above.
What Cases Are We Not Accepting?
At this time, we are unable to accept cases based solely on pancreatitis, kidney issues, or thyroid cancer, as the link is more difficult to prove in the current litigation. We also cannot accept cases involving compounded semaglutide, as these products are not regulated by the FDA and present different legal challenges.
The Core Issue: Failure to Warn Patients of Severe Risks
The central argument in the GLP-1 lawsuits is that manufacturers like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly knew, or should have known, about the risk of severe side effects like stomach paralysis and bowel obstruction but failed to adequately warn doctors and patients.
While general nausea and vomiting were listed as common side effects, the drug labels did not initially mention the potential for severe, life-altering gastroparesis or other serious complications. This lack of warning deprived patients of the ability to make an informed decision about their health. Our GLP-1 lawsuit lawyers are fighting to hold these pharmaceutical companies accountable for what we allege is a failure to adequately warn patients about these severe potential health risks.
Why Are GLP-1 Drugs Dangerous?
While GLP-1 drugs help regulate blood sugar and weight, they slow digestion and gastric emptying, which in many patients leads to severe, sometimes life-threatening complications.
Some complications can arise suddenly – like pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia – or build up over time, such as gastroparesis that permanently damages the stomach’s ability to function. Others, like NAION, may cause irreversible vision loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About GLP-1 Lawsuits
What brands are included in GLP-1 injury lawsuits?
Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Trulicity, and Zepbound.
Do I qualify if I only took the drug for a short time?
You must have taken it for at least 30 days before your injury occurred.
Are compounded semaglutide cases eligible?
No. Only name-brand GLP-1 medications qualify at this time.
Do all gallbladder removal cases qualify?
No. Only Ozempic exposures prior to the March 2022 label change are being accepted.
What does it cost to hire Boesen Law?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis – you only pay if we win compensation for you.
How long do I have to file a GLP-1 lawsuit?
Every state has a time limit, known as the statute of limitations, to file a drug injury claim. The clock usually starts ticking from the date of your injury or when you reasonably should have discovered the link between your injury and the drug. It is critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Is this a class action lawsuit?
While often called a “class action lawsuit for GLP-1,” these cases are typically handled as a mass tort in a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). This means that while your case is grouped with similar cases for efficiency, you still have your own individual claim. Any settlement or verdict is based on the severity of your specific injuries.
What if I’m not sure if my injury was caused by the drug?
That’s okay. A major part of our job is to investigate the medical evidence. During your free consultation, we can review your situation and, if you qualify, work with medical experts to determine if there is a strong link between your use of a GLP-1 drug and the injuries you sustained.
