Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiffs Allege Anticoagulant Caused Serious And Permanent Side Effects

February 26, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on another lawsuit which has been filed against Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson corporation) and Bayer AG in reference to Xarelto, the anticoagulant drug they manufacture. The plaintiffs filing this complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana under case number 2:15-cv-06514, are a husband and wife from Nebraska who allege that Bayer and Janssen manufactured an unsafe drug. They also allege that because he took Xarelto, the husband now suffers from serious and lasting side effects after experiencing a sudden uncontrollable bleeding episode. Additionally, they say the man now has a shortened life expectancy.

Further details from the plaintiff’s lawsuit indicate that the husband used Xarelto for 7 months, from May through December of 2013, when he suddenly suffered a gastrointestinal bleeding episode. The couple alleges that this dangerous bleed was caused by his use of the blood thinner. Also, because the man had Xarelto in his system at the time of the bleed, and because Xarelto had no available antidote at the time, doctors had tremendous difficulty clotting his blood.

This couple, unfortunately, is not alone in their claims. Over the last few years, Xarelto has become the topic of thousands of lawsuits from across the nation, all which commonly claim that the drug puts users at heightened risk for dangerous bleeding episodes. All federally-filed Xarelto lawsuits have been consolidated by the JPML to form MDL No. 2592, which now includes over 2,800 cases. Additionally, over 550 other Xarelto lawsuits were filed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and have been formed into a mass tort group there by the Court of Common Pleas.

These Nebraska lawsuit plaintiffs are seeking both compensatory and punitive damages, as well as compensation to cover legal fees. While they join the many other plaintiffs who await trials, Attorney Joseph Osborne is helping to ensure that anyone who feels they were negatively affected by Xarelto will have the same opportunity to pursue their own justice. These individuals may be entitled to substantial compensation. To help those deserving look into this option, Attorney Osborne is now providing free legal consultations for those affected.
