According to a recent court document, Pretrial Order #7, the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee was appointed on February 9, 2015.
From the group of applicants, the Court selected the following members, according to court documents: Andy Birchfield of Montgomery, Alabama; Brian Barr of Pensacola, Florida; Russell Abney of Atlanta, Georgia; Mark Alan Hoffman of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Bradley Honnold of Leawood, Kansas; Frederick Longer of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Sindhu Daniel of Newark, New Jersey; Dianne Nast of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Roger Denton of St. Louis, Missouri; Neil Overholtz of Pensacola, Florida; Michael Goetz of Tampa, Florida; and Ellen Relkin of New York, New York.

The Co-Plaintiffs’ Liaisons and the Co-Lead Counsel together comprise the Plaintiffs’ Steering Executive Committee, who are charged with coordinating the Steering Committee, scheduling meetings, keeping minutes, attending status conferences, and other administrative functions, according to the court document. The appointment of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee is a routine early pretrial proceeding, which allows for Discovery to commence, according to the Onder Law Firm.
Attorneys representing clients nationwide in Xarelto lawsuits are still accepting Xarelto claims for possible inclusion in the MDL. Xarelto lawsuits were consolidated in Louisiana during December of 2014 under the name Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2592), according to court documents from the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. Plaintiffs in Xarelto lawsuits allege that the Xarelto’s label did not adequately warn consumers of the potential for serious side effects such as internal bleeding, according to court documents.
Xarelto lawyers representing clients nationwide for the Onder Law Firm are now accepting claims from individuals and families of individuals who suffered from severe internal bleeding or hemorrhagic stroke and also have a history of taking Xarelto. Lawyers are investigating these inquiries for possible Xarelto lawsuits. The Onder Law Firm is renowned for its achievements in product and consumer safety litigation, with a strong track record of winning meaningful settlements for clients.
