New Xarelto lawsuit claims proposed for consolidation in the national multidistrict litigation may be expedited through the use of new forms, according to attorneys handling Xarelto lawsuits included in the MDL.* The forms, known as the Joint Complaint and the Short Form Complaint, “provide guidance” for plaintiffs’ attorneys in filing new claims, according to court documents. Drafts of these forms have been the recent subject of pretrial proceedings in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana, according to court documents.
“Multidistrict litigation is useful because it allows for the efficient processing of hundreds or thousands of similar claims against a common defendant or group of defendants,” explained a representative from the Onder Law Firm. “The forms request specific information which helps to determine whether a new Xarelto lawsuit shares common questions of fact with the existing Xarelto bleeding allegations. The forms also ensure that individual details of each case are preserved in an organized manner. Pretrial proceedings are conducted all at once, but potential settlements are based on the individual circumstances of each Xarelto lawsuit.”
In the case of the Xarelto lawsuits consolidated into MDL 2592, the common questions of fact involve, “the adequacy of Xarelto’s warning label with respect to the risk of severe bleeding and other injuries, the results of certain clinical studies, and the alleged need for blood monitoring”, according to court documents. These Xarelto lawsuit allege that incidents of severe internal bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke are linked to patients’ use of Xarelto, according to court documents.
The forms include language from the general complaint, including more than fourteen counts that range from allegations of failure to warn and violation of consumer fraud laws to wrongful death and negligence, according to court documents: “Defendants conducted sales and marketing campaigns to promote the sale of Xarelto and willfully deceived Plaintiffs, Plaintiff’s physicians and the general public as to the health risks and consequences of the use of Xarelto.”
Johnson and Johnson, the multinational corporation, is behind Xarelto; its subsidiaries, Janssen Research & Development and Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals are also listed as defendants, according to court documents.
