How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for my case?

Nothing up front. Your case is handled on a contingency-fee basis — there are no attorney's fees unless your case results in a recovery.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes. Every state's statute of limitations strictly limits the time you have to file. In many states the clock starts on the date of injury or diagnosis. Do not wait — once the deadline passes, your claim is permanently barred.

Will my case be a class action?

No. GLP-1 cases are consolidated as Multidistrict Litigation (MDL 3094) in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Each plaintiff keeps an individual claim and any settlement is based on individual injuries.

GLP-1 Drug Injury

Ozempic Aspiration Pneumonia / Anesthesia Lawsuit

Because GLP-1 drugs slow stomach emptying, patients are at heightened risk of aspirating food into the lungs during anesthesia — even after fasting. The American Society of Anesthesiologists has issued guidance about this risk.

Why anesthesia is dangerous on Ozempic

Anesthesia relies on the stomach being empty before the airway is suppressed. GLP-1 drugs can leave food in the stomach for many hours past the recommended fasting window, leading to regurgitation and aspiration into the lungs — a life-threatening event.

What an aspiration injury looks like

Aspiration during surgery can cause chemical pneumonitis, bacterial pneumonia, prolonged ICU stays, intubation, ARDS, and death. Survivors may live with permanent lung damage.

When you may have a claim

If you suffered an aspiration event during anesthesia while on a GLP-1 drug — and were not warned to stop the medication before surgery — you may have a claim against the manufacturer. A free case review evaluates the facts.
