According to court records, over 1,100 Pradaxa lawsuits have been filed in the Southern District of Illinois. All of the claims pending in the litigation allege use of the blood thinner caused patients to suffer life-threatening episodes of Pradaxa bleeding. Lawsuits also allege Boehringer Ingelheim, the manufacturer of Pradaxa, failed to provide adequate warnings about this risk, and failed to warn about the lack of an antidote for Pradaxa bleeding.
An Order issued by the Court on April 9th shows that the parties have been directed to select 16 Pradaxa side effects lawsuits as possible candidates for the litigation’s bellwether trials. The Order further stipulates that no more than three cases selected by each will involve allegations of wrongful death, while at least five chosen by each of the parties will involve gastrointestinal bleeding. The parties are also limited to selecting two cases each that involve traumatic injury, and only 1 case each involving stroke. Pradaxa lawsuits involving myocardial infarction are excluded as potential candidates, according to the Order.
