Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiff Alleges Anticoagulant Caused Father’s Parenchymal Hemorrhage And Subsequent Death

March 23, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on another lawsuit filed against Xarelto manufacturers Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson corporation) and Bayer AG regarding their anticoagulant. The complaint is merely one of thousands which were filed from plaintiffs across the United States. Federally-filed cases were later transferred to a single court in Eastern Louisiana when they were consolidated by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. These cases now number more than 2,800 and makeup MDL number 2592. The plaintiffs currently involved in the MDL share similar allegations that Xarelto places patients at risk for sudden and dangerous bleeding episodes that can leave lifelong injuries or prove fatal.

Details from court documents for this particular lawsuit show that the plaintiff is filing suit on behalf of her deceased father. The case had been filed under number 2:14-cv-00159-cr in a Vermont federal court, but was later transferred to join the MDL. Within court documents, the woman states that her father died after experiencing a sudden and severe brain bleed known as a parenchymal hemorrhage. Her family claims that this bleed was caused by his use of Xarelto, which was in his system at the time of his death. As an anticoagulant, Xarelto had thinned the man’s blood, making it nearly impossible for doctors to clot, and ultimately causing the bleed to be a fatal one.

Xarelto is the subject of two “black box” warnings from the FDA, which are the most strict warnings a product can receive before being pulled from the market completely. The drug is currently the subject of more than 3,400 lawsuits; over 2,800 of which make up the Louisiana MDL and over 600 of which have been formed into a mass tort program in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by the Court of Common Pleas.

As the many plaintiffs involved await their day in trial, Attorney Joseph Osborne is working to help any patients who have suffered from health problems after taking Xarelto. He wishes to ensure that these patients will be given the important opportunity to explore their legal rights in full. Those affected may be entitled to significant compensation through legal action. To better help those wishing to pursue justice in the matter, Attorney Osborne is currently offering free legal consultations for involved parties.
