Ozempic (GLP-1) Lawsuit — Free Case Review

Calling for Someone You Love? Start Here

Spouses, adult children, and POA holders can begin the review — see what qualifies and what to gather.

No Ozempic or other GLP-1 lawsuit has been settled, and no court or jury has found that these medications caused anyone's injury — the litigation is ongoing, with major expert-evidence rulings still ahead. Whether any individual has a claim depends on their own medical records and the law of their state.

Ozempic inquiries get a personal review — and an honest answer either way, free and without obligation.

No Ozempic or other GLP-1 lawsuit has been settled, and no court or jury has found that these medications caused anyone's injury — the litigation is ongoing, with major expert-evidence rulings still ahead. Whether any individual has a claim depends on their own medical records and the law of their state. Do not stop, start, or change any prescribed medication because of anything on this page. Those decisions belong with your prescriber. Attorney Advertising.

Before anything else: stop throwing things away. Save the pens and pen boxes, the cartons and packaging, pharmacy receipts and printouts, proof of purchase, letters and emails from the manufacturer or pharmacy, and every emergency-room or hospital paper. Marin & Murphy is currently accepting Ozempic (GLP-1) gastroparesis and NAION cases, and physical evidence that is discarded usually cannot be recovered.

This page is the practical one. It is written for the person in the family who ends up being the organizer — a spouse, an adult child, sometimes a sibling. You do not need everything on this list before calling. But everything on this list is easier to keep than to reconstruct.

Part 1 — Physical items to preserve

• Injection pens — used and unused, including any in the refrigerator. Do not discard them in a sharps program before asking.
• Pen boxes, cartons, and outer packaging. These carry lot numbers, expiration dates, and the National Drug Code, which identify exactly what was dispensed.
• Bottles and blister packs for oral medication.
• The package insert or medication guide that came in the box — the label wording at the time is central to these claims.
• Pharmacy labels on bags and boxes.
• Proof of purchase — receipts, credit-card statements showing the pharmacy charge, insurance explanation-of-benefits statements, discount-card or copay-card paperwork.
• Letters and emails from the manufacturer, the pharmacy, a telehealth provider, or an insurer — including recall, shortage, or safety notices.
• Shipping materials if the medication arrived by mail or from an online provider.

A single box in a closet is enough. Photograph anything you are worried about losing, and keep the originals anyway.

Part 2 — Records to request

• Pharmacy medication history. The most useful single document there is. Any pharmacy can print several years of fill history showing brand versus generic, dates, quantities, and prescriber. Request it from every pharmacy used.
• Emergency-room and hospital records — discharge summaries, admission paperwork, and the dates of each visit.
• Test results. For stomach injuries, the gastric emptying study report specifically, or the imaging and testing that documented an obstruction. For vision loss, the eye specialist’s records and visual-field testing.
• Specialist visit notes from the gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist, or neuro-ophthalmologist.
• The prescribing doctor’s chart notes covering the period on the medication.
• Patient-portal downloads. Portals often hold years of notes and results that nobody has looked at.

Part 3 — The list of details we will ask for

These are the fields an intake conversation walks through. Approximate months and years are fine.

• The injured person: name, date of birth, marital status, current age.
• You, if you are not the injured person: your name, your relationship, and why you are the one calling — plus whether you hold a power of attorney. If the person has died: date and cause of death, where they lived at the time, whether an estate is open, and who the personal representative is.
• Each medication: which product (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Trulicity, Mounjaro, Zepbound), whether it was brand-name, generic, or compounded, and the month and year started and stopped.
• For each medication: the prescribing doctor’s name and address, and the pharmacy’s name and address.
• Each diagnosis: what it was, the month and year, and the diagnosing doctor’s name.
• Whether objective testing was done — a gastric emptying study for gastroparesis, or other objective testing for an obstruction.
• Each emergency-room visit or hospital admission: the facility and the dates.
• Current condition — in your own words, where things stand today.
• Whether another attorney already represents the injured person for this issue. If so, we cannot take the case; that is the one absolute bar.
• Contact details and consent — mailing address, the best phone number, and whether we may text or email you.

Two things worth saying out loud

This is a claim against the drug manufacturers over the warning label — not against your prescriber, your pharmacist, or the hospital. Their records are what a claim is built from.

And if something on this list does not exist, tell us anyway. Missing a test or missing a receipt is a fact about records, which can sometimes be found, not a verdict on whether someone was really injured.
