Xarelto Lawsuit Update: Statute of Limitations Expiring on Potential Lawsuits

September 28, 2015 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports today on the statutes of limitations for Xarelto lawsuits and how they vary over different states. The statutes of limitations are a set of laws on the books that dictate the amount of time that a plaintiff has to bring a lawsuit forward. The time period usually begins when the event occurred or should have been discovered. If the plaintiff does not bring a lawsuit forward within this time period, they will be permanently barred from recouping damages. It is very important to file a Xarelto lawsuit as soon as you can to make sure that the statute of limitations does not expire on your case. For more information on Xarelto lawsuits, click here.

Xarelto Internal Bleeding Lawsuits Filed Across Country:

To this date, there have been more than 1,200 federally filed lawsuits against the manufacturers against Xarelto. These lawsuits commonly allege that Xarelto causes severe, uncontrollable internal bleeding and that the manufacturers of Xarelto, Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subdivision of Johnson&Johnson, failed to adequately warn doctors and patients about the true dangers of the blood thinner. These federally filed lawsuits have since been consolidated into a multidistrict litigation, MDL, in the Eastern District of Louisiana. There are also about 400 lawsuits filed in a Mass Tort Group in Philadelphia.

The Dangers of Xarelto:

Xarelto is much more dangerous than other blood thinners on the market because it does not have a corresponding antidote, meaning there is no way to counteract the anticoagulant effects of Xarelto in the event of an emergency. For example, if a patient is taking the traditional blood thinner Warfarin and experiences an internal bleeding emergency, a doctor can administer Vitamin K to the patient and their blood will clot again. If the patient is taking Xarelto and experiences an internal bleed, there is no way to stop the bleeding and the situation can become very serious very quickly.

“If you or a loved one believe that you have been harmed by Xarelto, we urge you to contact us immediately.” Xarelto attorney Marc Goldich said, “Do not let the statute of limitations expire on your case before you can get justice.”
