Injured by Wegovy Weight Loss Drug Lawsuit Attorney

A personal injury lawsuit for “failure to warn” was filed by multiple plaintiffs who claim that they developed stomach paralysis and other severe health issues after they began using Wegovy. One of the attorneys in charge of the case spoke of a Louisiana woman who had been to the emergency room numerous times since she was prescribed Ozempic, followed by Mounjaro, by her doctor. In one instance, she had vomiting that was so severe, it caused her to lose some of her teeth.

Keep in mind that Ozempic is essentially the same drug as Wegovy, though Ozempic was made specifically for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes, nevertheless, they are both semaglutides, which belong to a class of drugs known as (GLP-1) receptor agonists. According to the attorneys, there is compelling evidence indicating a link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and severe gastric disorders.

As of now, there are reports of stomach injury from Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro from approximately 400 people in 45 states. Our law firm is ready to help if you are one of the many victims who were diagnosed with gastroparesis after you were prescribed Wegovy by your doctor.

Yes, you are eligible for a compensation claim for stomach injury from Wegovy if it’s clear that the manufacturer failed in their duty of care to you and the general public. Drug manufacturers have the highest duty of care to test their product prior to release. In addition, they must market the product in a way so that there are no misconceptions about its uses or efficacy. This includes being completely transparent about any potential health issue that may arise from using the medication.

As we mentioned in the previous section, failure to warn was cited as the reason for the lawsuit. This implies that Novo Nordisk knew of or should have known about the link between their medication and gastroparesis. If so, they had a legal duty to inform the public of their findings, and perhaps issue a recall on these medications in order to minimize the possibility of injuries.

Further investigation is required to determine exactly how Norvo Nordisk is responsible for stomach injuries caused by Wegovy and Ozempic. If you were harmed by either of these drugs, we can advise you of the available legal options for a lawsuit. You may choose to file a claim on your own or join with other patients who were diagnosed with a stomach illness from being injected with Wegovy. Both actions have their pros and cons, and you should have a clear understanding of these factors before you can decide which type of lawsuit is right for you.

The inability to move food through your stomach causes all sorts of excruciating symptoms, and as a result, we expect case values to be fairly high with these cases. Keep in mind that this type of illness can also cause severe emotional trauma, as it can take months of agony before you are officially diagnosed with gastroparesis.

If you are suffering due to the manufacturer’s failure to disclose critical information about their product, you are entitled to monetary damages from a product liability lawsuit. Based on our experience with drug side effect injury claims, we believe that many of these cases are worth about $250,000 and above. For the most serious injuries, settlements will likely fall between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000.

Our sole motivation is to fight for the compensation you deserve, regardless of the exact number. To get started on a Wegovy stomach disorder lawsuit against Novo Nordisk, contact us today.

There’s no reliable way to provide you with an answer to this question, as much of it depends on the drug company’s willingness to negotiate with us. Whether you file a personal injury claim or class action lawsuit matters as well. On the one hand, class action claims take longer to settle due to the additional steps that are required by the court. However, they tend to make more of an impact, as it’s hard to dispute liability by a defendant when so many people have been injured in the same manner.

Generally, we expect these cases to take anywhere from 6 months to over two years. Our goal is to provide you with a resolution as soon as possible. At the same time, we want you to receive enough compensation to cover all your losses. Aside from your medical bills, we want you to bring you all the damages you are entitled to, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, lost income due to your recovery needs.

The time limit to sue a drug manufacturer for injuries caused by negligence is two years from the discovery date of the injury. Generally, this refers to the date of diagnosis, though there may be other factors that will impact how long you have to file a lawsuit. To be on the safe side, it’s best to rely on the 2-year rule and reach out to an attorney as soon as you suspect a link between Wegovy and your stomach condition. If you miss the deadline to file a claim, the courts are unlikely to give you an extension, which means you will permanently lose the right to file a lawsuit against Novo Nordisk.

A weight loss drug should help you improve your health, but unfortunately, some medications create new issues that will impact the quality of your life. That’s precisely what’s happening to many patients that were prescribed Wegovy as a way to manage their weight.
