⚠️ Missouri statute of limitations: 5 years. If you experienced GLP-1 related side effects consult a legal professional about your specific deadline immediately.
Can Missouri Residents File GLP-1 Lawsuits?
Yes. Missouri residents who took GLP-1 medications including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, or compounded semaglutide and suffered documented side effects are eligible to have their cases reviewed. Missouri has a generous 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims — among the longest in the country. However Missouri residents should not use this extended window as a reason to delay. Early case registration always results in better positioning in mass tort settlements. All cases are filed in federal court as part of the Multi-District Litigation regardless of what state you live in.

Where Do These Cases Stand in May 2026?
As of May 2026 over 12,000 cases have been filed in federal multidistrict litigation across two separate MDLs — one for gastrointestinal injuries and one specifically for vision loss. A Science Day has been scheduled for June 2, 2026 where both sides will present evidence on the NAION vision loss claims. Bellwether trial selection is expected in late 2026. This is an active and rapidly developing litigation — Missouri residents who submit their cases now are in the best position for early settlement discussions.

How Much Could a Case Be Worth?
No formal settlement amounts have been established yet in GLP-1 litigation. Case value depends on the severity and permanence of the injury, quality of medical documentation, whether a formal diagnosis was made, and whether you experienced lost income or ongoing treatment costs. Permanent injuries such as vision loss or chronic gastroparesis carry higher values than resolved conditions. Learn more on our settlement value page.
Does It Cost Anything to File?
No. Attorneys in our network work on contingency — meaning they only get paid when you receive compensation. There is no upfront cost, no retainer, and no fee if you receive nothing.
