What Compensation Is Available in a GLP-1 Lawsuit?
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have helped many people take control of conditions like diabetes and obesity, but they have also left some patients facing devastating complications. If you’ve developed gastroparesis—a condition where your stomach muscles stop working properly—or suffered from serious intestinal obstructions after taking these medications, you may qualify for a GLP-1 lawsuit.
These debilitating conditions can turn your life upside down, leaving you unable to eat normally, work effectively, or live independently. By filing a lawsuit for GLP-1 side effects, you can recover compensation that addresses every aspect of how these complications have impacted your health, finances, and future.
Medical Expenses and Future Treatment Costs
Your GLP-1 lawsuit can recover all medical expenses related to your gastroparesis or intestinal obstruction diagnosis and treatment. This includes emergency room visits, hospital stays, diagnostic tests, specialist consultations with gastroenterologists, and surgical procedures.
Many patients require long-term treatment to manage their conditions, and these expenses can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars over time. In your lawsuit, you are also entitled to compensation for all future medical care, including prescription medications to manage symptoms, nutritional support, and feeding tubes if necessary.
Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
Gastroparesis and intestinal obstructions often prevent patients from maintaining their normal work schedules. You can recover compensation for wages lost during medical appointments, hospital stays, and recovery periods. If your condition has permanently affected your ability to work—whether through reduced hours, inability to perform certain job functions, or complete disability—you can seek damages for your diminished earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering Damages
Your medical condition may cause severe discomfort, including chronic nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and malnutrition. You may also experience depression, anxiety, and social isolation as unpredictable symptoms disrupt your relationships and prevent you from participating in activities you once enjoyed. Pain and suffering damages address both the physical agony and emotional trauma that these debilitating conditions have brought into your life, and you have the right to claim them in your GLP-1 lawsuit.
Disability Accommodations
You deserve to maintain your independence and dignity despite any complications associated with your condition. If you have suffered permanent disabilities, you can seek compensation for necessary accommodations. This might include home modifications, specialized equipment, mobility aids, or vehicle adaptations.
Wrongful Death Damages for Families
Tragically, severe gastroparesis and intestinal obstructions can be fatal. Families who have lost loved ones due to GLP-1 complications may have the right to pursue wrongful death claims. In these lawsuits, they may recover damages for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the immeasurable loss of companionship and guidance.
