The process of filing a stomach paralysis Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus claim

As of April 2024, there were 74 claims in the Ozempic stomach paralysis lawsuit filed against pharmaceutical manufacturer Novo Nordisk. The plaintiffs are individuals who were prescribed the drug, as well as other semaglutide-containing drugs, to keep their diabetes under control or help with weight loss but were not warned of the serious adverse effects using these medications can cause, such as stomach paralysis and bowel obstruction. For this reason, the basis of the lawsuit, known as MDL 3094, is the failure to warn.

If you developed stomach paralysis due to using Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus as prescribed by your doctor, you now have the option to take legal action against the drug manufacturer. Filing a claim may allow you to seek financial compensation to cover your medical expenses and other losses caused by your stomach paralysis diagnosis. However, you should expect a complex and tedious legal process before receiving damages, which is why it is highly recommended to reach out to a defective drug attorney with relevant professional experience.

Determining eligibility in a stomach paralysis Ozempic claim

Before filing your claim with Novo Nordisk, your attorney will thoroughly evaluate your situation to find out whether you might be entitled to compensation. You will have to provide the legal team with evidence of your Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus use, as well as your medical records with your stomach paralysis or bowel obstruction diagnosis. These documents will serve as a starting point for your attorney in your case assessment. Furthermore, there are certain eligibility criteria your claim has to meet for it to be valid and have the potential to result in financial compensation, namely:

• you must have no prior diagnosis of stomach paralysis or bowel obstruction
• your stomach paralysis or bowel obstruction must have been diagnosed after using Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus
• you must have been hospitalized or visited the ER because of symptoms caused by stomach paralysis or bowel obstruction
• you must be 75 or younger to qualify for compensation from the drug manufacturer

After gathering all the necessary evidence, your attorney will move forward with a defective drug claim against the manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, if they determine you are eligible to file a claim. You can expect the company to push back against these claims in an attempt to avoid paying out the compensation you might be entitled to, but your attorney will make sure to handle the situation appropriately and efficiently. The damages you might recover following claim submission will cover the following and possibly more, depending on your specific circumstances:

• emergency room treatment
• hospitalization
• medical procedures to mitigate the effects of the drug
• physical therapy and medication costs

You might also receive damages for lost wages and pain and suffering. It is worth noting that the strength of your case mostly depends on the evidence you present. Therefore, medical records are of paramount importance when filing your Ozempic stomach paralysis claim. They serve as concrete evidence linking the use of the drug to the adverse effects experienced. Prescriptions confirming that you were given the medication are crucial, too. Moreover, hospital records detailing the health complications caused by taking Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus further strengthen your case. It is advisable to keep all medical bills, test results, and doctor's notes related to your condition.
