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.

Ozempic Intestinal Obstruction & Ileus Lawsuit

The FDA updated Ozempic's label in 2023 to add ileus — a dangerous bowel obstruction — as a side effect. Many lawsuits allege Novo Nordisk knew about this risk for years before warning patients.

What is ileus / intestinal obstruction?

Ileus is a condition in which the intestines stop moving food and waste forward. Intestinal obstruction is a complete or near-complete blockage. Both cause severe abdominal pain, vomiting, distention, and the inability to pass gas or stool, and usually require hospitalization and sometimes surgery.

Ozempic label change

In September 2023, the FDA required Novo Nordisk to add ileus to the Ozempic label after a post-marketing safety review. Plaintiffs allege the warning should have been added years earlier based on internal data.

When you may have a claim

You may qualify if you were hospitalized for ileus or intestinal obstruction during or shortly after GLP-1 use, with no prior history of the condition. Surgical intervention strengthens the claim.
