Xarelto Lawsuits Move Forward Nationwide, with Scheduling of May Conferences in Federal, State Litigations
New York, New York (PRWEB) April 28, 2015 -- Consolidated ligations established for Xarelto lawsuits (http://www.xareltolawsuit2015.com/) are moving forward nationwide, as courts overseeing proceedings in Louisiana and Pennsylvania prepare to convene conferences next month. According to court documents issued in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana, the next status conference in the federal Xarelto litigation will take place on May 13th at 9:00 a.m. C.S.T. (In Re: Xarelto Products Liability Litigation, No. 2592)
Court records indicate that the Xarelto mass tort litigation underway in Pennsylvania’s Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas will convene its next monthly meeting one week later, on May 20th at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T. (In Re: Xarelto Litigation, Case ID 150102349)
“Our Firm is representing a number of Xarelto lawsuit plaintiffs in U.S. courts, and we are pleased with the progress thus far in the federal and state litigations. We are looking forward to the upcoming conferences in Pennsylvania and Louisiana, as the courts could provide updates regarding the status of discovery, coordination between state and federal proceedings, and other important developments that may prove relevant to our clients cases,” says Sandy A. Liebhard, a partner at Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective medical devices and drugs. The Firm is currently offering legal consults to individuals who allegedly experienced uncontrollable internal bleeding and other serious Xarelto complications.
Xarelto Litigation
Court documents indicate that more than 600 Xarelto lawsuits have been filed on behalf of individuals who allegedly suffered life-threatening episodes of internal bleeding and other serious side effects while using this blood-thinning medication. This includes just over 400 claims pending in the federal litigation underway in the Eastern District of Louisiana, and 209 cases that have been filed in the mass tort program underway in Pennsylvania. Both of these consolidated litigations were established to allow similar product liability claims involving Xarelto to undergo coordinated pretrial proceedings, thereby conserving the resources of the courts, parties and witnesses.
According to court records, all of the Xarelto lawsuits pending in these two proceedings accuse the manufacturers of the blood-thinning medication of failing to warn the public of its alleged association with uncontrollable internal bleeding and other life-threatening complications, including stroke, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. They also allege that Xarelto was misleadingly marketed as a superior alternative to warfarin, and point out that hemorrhaging caused by this older blood thinner can be stopped via the administration of vitamin K. By contrast, there currently exists no approved antidote to reverse Xarelto bleeding.
Individuals who allegedly experienced internal bleeding and other complications related to Xarelto may be entitled to compensation for medical bills and other damages related to their injuries.
