Medical Background to Bleeding Allegations Upcoming in Xarelto Lawsuit MDL
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) June 10, 2015 -- The latest news development on the pretrial proceedings for national Xarelto lawsuits concerns Science Day, according to attorneys handling Xarelto claims. According to court documents, Science Day is a component of pretrial proceedings during which scientific and medical research relevant to the internal bleeding allegations made by plaintiffs in Xarelto lawsuits will be presented objectively and “without advocacy”. Science Day will take place tomorrow, on June 11, 2015, according to court documents. These Xarelto attorneys provide regular news updates and no-cost Xarelto lawsuit case evaluation at XareltoContingencyLawsuit.com.
“Science Day is a common part of complex litigation that involves widespread allegations regarding a pharmaceutical drug or medical device,” explains Jim Onder of the Onder Law Firm. “Hundreds of Xarelto lawsuit claims have been consolidated in U.S. District Court in Louisiana in order to avoid duplicative discovery and other pretrial proceedings. Science Day sets a common background of medical and scientific research for all the consolidated cases.”
A number of specific agreements apply to the Science Day for the Xarelto lawsuit MDL, according to court documents. Plaintiffs and defendants have agreed that presentations will be made on the medical condition known as atrial fibrillation, for which Xarelto is prescribed, according to court documents. Other medical topics include coagulation and anti-coagulant therapy, the approved uses of Xarelto, the existing record of Xarelto adverse events, and clinical trials of Xarelto, among other topics, according to court documents. The presenters of this information include doctors and scientists who will present the information but may not be formally questioned, according to court documents.
Each of the several hundred lawsuits now consolidated as part of the Xarelto lawsuit MDL shares common questions of fact and makes common allegations against the defendant, Janssen Research & Development; according to court documents, the plaintiffs allege they or a family members suffered a severe internal bleeding incident as a result of taking Xarelto. The claims assert that the makers of Xarelto knew or should have known – and should have warned the public – of the alleged bleeding risk from taking Xarelto, according to court documents.
