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 vs Wegovy: A Plain-English Comparison

Ozempic and Wegovy share the same active drug — semaglutide — but they are approved for different uses and dosed differently. If you took either one and suffered a serious injury, both qualify for the same federal litigation.

Active ingredient and dosing

Both drugs are weekly semaglutide injections made by Novo Nordisk. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes at doses up to 2.0 mg per week. Wegovy is approved for chronic weight management at higher doses up to 2.4 mg per week. The molecule is identical.

Side-effect overlap

Gastroparesis, pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, ileus, gallbladder disease, NAION, and aspiration risk all appear in both drugs' adverse event reports. Wegovy's higher dose may carry higher rates of severe GI events.

Lawsuit eligibility

Patients on either drug are eligible to file in MDL 3094 if they have a qualifying injury. Pharmacy records that confirm which version you took are critical.
