​​All Trulicity lawsuits along with all other GLP-1 receptor agonists (Saxenda, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Rybellus, Zepbound and Ozempic) were transferred to Judge Karen Marston in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (MDL Court) by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict of Litigation for coordinated discovery and pretrial proceedings. As of August 2024, the parties in the Trulicity MDL are in the discovery phase, where both sides exchange information and evidence. After discovery, "bellwether trials" will begin and depending on the outcomes could lead to a possible settlement. 

Read on as we answer eight frequently asked questions about the Trulicity lawsuit.​

---

What is the Trulicity lawsuit about?

The Trulicity lawsuit alleges that the type 2 diabetes medication Trulicity (dulaglutide) causes severe gastrointestinal side effects, particularly gastroparesis or "stomach paralysis." Plaintiffs claim that the drug manufacturer failed to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers about this risk.

What is gastroparesis and how is it related to Trulicity?

Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. It's allegedly one of the most severe side effects of Trulicity, causing symptoms like persistent nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain. The lawsuit claims that Trulicity use significantly increases the risk of developing this debilitating condition.

Who can participate in the Trulicity lawsuit?

To be eligible for a Trulicity lawsuit, you must have taken the medication as prescribed and subsequently experienced one or more of the following severe side effects:

• Death
• Gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying)
• Persistent vomiting (for over four weeks, unless still experiencing symptoms)
• Intestinal blockages/bowel obstructions/Ileus
• Other serious adverse reactions directly linked to Trulicity use

It is important to note that the severity of the side effects and the impact they have had on your life will play a significant role in determining your eligibility for a Trulicity lawsuit and the potential compensation you may be entitled to receive.

What compensation might be available through the Trulicity lawsuit?

While specific compensation amounts can't be guaranteed, plaintiffs may seek damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. The exact amount would depend on individual circumstances and the outcome of the legal proceeding.

Nashville whistleblower attorney Timothy L. Miles 
​

 Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. Timothy L. Miles is a top-rated and AV preeminent lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee and a nationally known class action and products liability lawyer who has been leading the fight to protect consumer rights for over 22 years. Mr. Miles received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee in 1995 and his J.D. from the Nashville School of Law in May 2001, graduating third in his class, and was made a member of the Honorable Society of Cooper’s Inn which is reserved for students graduating in the top ten percent of their class.

He is admitted to practice before the Tennessee Supreme Court; the United States District Court for the Western, Middle and Eastern Districts of Tennessee and the District of Colorado; and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.  He is a member of the Nashville Bar Association; National Trial Lawyers Association; and Harry Phillips American Inns of Court (Student Member 2000). Mr. Miles has dedicated his career to representing consumers and shareholders in complex class-action litigation, products liability and mass torts.

Whether serving as lead, co-lead, or liaison counsel, Mr. Miles has helped recover millions of dollars for aggrieved consumers, shaped precedent-setting decisions, and delivered real corporate governance reforms. Judges and peers have repeatedly recognized Mr. Miles’ relentless advocacy for the underdog, as well as his unbendable ethical standards.
​
For example, Mr. Miles is a member of the prestigious Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyers: The National Trial Lawyers Association, which is by invitation only and is “extended to those attorneys who exemplify superior qualifications, trial results, and leadership in their respective state based upon objective and uniformly applied criteria.” The National Trial Lawyers Association explained the significance of this honor: “With the selection of Timothy L. Miles by The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100, [Mr.] Miles has shown that he exemplifies superior qualifications, leadership skills, and trial results as a trial lawyer. The selection process for this elite honor is based on a multi-phase process which includes peer nominations combined with third party research.” Further, “[m]embership is extended only to the select few of the most qualified attorneys from each state or region who demonstrate superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature and public profile measured by objective and uniformly applied standards in compliance with state bar and national Rule 4-7.”
​
Additionally, Mr. Miles has maintained an AV Preeminent Rating in securities law with Martindale-Hubble since 2014, their highest award given. The coveted AV Preeminent rating is reserved for “[a]n elite group of approximately 10 percent of all attorneys.”  Additionally, while Martindale’s peer review ratings have been trusted for decades because they are based on the opinions and feedback of fellow legal practitioners, the organization’s special judicial edition rating, which Mr. Miles received this year for the sixth year in a row, is an even higher honor. As Martindale notes, the prestigious judicial rating is its highest possible distinction, and is representative of the opinions of both a lawyer’s peers and members of the judiciary.
