St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) December 03, 2014
A New York woman has filed a Xarelto lawsuit* against drugmakers Bayer and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, seeking $10 million in damages, report attorneys handling Xarelto lawsuit claims nationwide. According to court documents, the woman alleges she suffered life threatening bleeding while taking Xarelto, an oral anticoagulant. Furthermore, court documents reveal the plaintiff says she has sustained severe and permanent injuries that necessitate medical treatment for the rest of her life. Attorneys handling Xarelto lawsuits for alleged bleeding events provide Xarelto lawsuit news updates at XareltoContingencyLawsuit.com.
This Xarelto lawsuit is one of many such lawsuits underway around the country, as reflected by court documents. Plaintiffs in several Xarelto lawsuits have requested consolidation of similar claims as a multidistrict litigation (MDL); that decision is pending, and will be addressed at this month’s meeting of the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML), set to meet Thursday, December 4 in Charleston, South Carolina, according to court documents.** These lawsuits share in common an assertion that while the drug makers and marketers knew or should have known of the severe bleeding risks associated with Xarelto, the drug continued to be manufactured, distributed, and marketed to American consumers, according to court documents. The lawsuits allege that the risk of bleeding, combined with the fact that there is no known antidote to stop Xarelto bleeding events once commenced, make the drug dangerous and life threatening. Plaintiffs allege they should have been warned of the serious side effects associated with Xarelto, according to court documents.
Xarelto is a blood thinner that fits in the class of oral anticoagulant. Approved by the FDA in 2011, Xarelto is prescribed to patients suffering from atrial fibrillation and recovering from hip and knee replacement surgeries to prevent pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, according to court documents. While all blood thinners are accompanied by some risk of internal bleeding, court documents indicate that plaintiffs in Xarelto bleeding lawsuits allege Xarelto’s bleeding risks are unreasonable given that the drug has no known antidote. Plaintiffs are seeking damages for their pain, suffering, medical expenses, and wrongful death resulting from severe internal bleeding incidents, according to court documents.
