Xarelto Lawsuit News: Federal Multidistrict Litigation Schedules February Status Conference, Bernstein Liebhard LLP Reports
New York, New York (PRWEB) February 07, 2015 -- Xarelto lawsuits (http://www.xareltolawsuit2015.com/) filed on behalf of patients who were allegedly harmed by the blood thinner continue to move forward in the multidistrict litigation underway in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. According to the Court’s calendar, the litigation’s next monthly Status Conference will be convened on Friday, February 27th, at 9:00 a.m. (In Re: Xarelto Products Liability Litigation, No. 2592)
“Our Firm is representing a number of Xarelto plaintiffs who allegedly experienced dangerous internal bleeding and other complications related to the use of this blood thinner. We are pleased that the federal litigation is progressing, and look forward to the Status Conference later this month,” says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective devices and drugs including Xarelto. The Firm is currently offering free and confidential case evaluations to individuals who allegedly sustained life-threatening episodes of internal bleeding, strokes, deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism caused by Xarelto.
Xarelto Litigation
Xarelto was cleared for sale by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in 2011, and is currently approved to prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation; as a treatment for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism; and to prevent deep vein thrombosis in patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery. Like all blood thinners, Xarelto can sometimes cause patients to experience internal hemorrhaging. However, no reversal agent has yet been approved to stop Xarelto bleeding.*
The federal Xarelto litigation was established in December 2014 to allow all federally-filed cases alleging injury from the medication to undergo coordinated pretrial proceedings. Court records indicate that nearly 90 claims have been filed in the proceeding on behalf of individuals who allegedly experienced internal bleeding, strokes, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and other serious complications related to the use of Xarelto. Among other things, plaintiffs claim the drug's manufacturers wrongly marketed Xarelto as a superior alternative to warfarin, a blood thinner that has been on the market for decades. While there is no antidote to stop Xarelto bleeding, bleeding from warfarin can be stopped via the administration of vitamin K.
Patients who allegedly suffered life-threatening episodes of Xarelto bleeding and other complications may be entitled to compensation for their injury related damages.
