Common Questions
I stopped taking Zepbound months ago. Can I still file?
Yes. The clock typically runs from the date you became aware of the link between Zepbound and your diagnosis. Many states also have discovery rules that push back the filing date in product liability suits.
What if I also took other medications?
Taking other drugs does not necessarily prevent you from filing. A qualified lawyer can help establish whether Zepbound was a contributing cause in your injury.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
Nearly all mass tort lawyers work on a contingency basis. There is no cost unless you win.
