Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiff Claims Drug Caused Vermont Man’s Fatal Parenchymal Hemorrhage

January 11, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on the details of a lawsuit filed against manufactureres Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer AG regarding their blood-thinning drug, Xarelto. This suit is just one of many which commonly claim that Xarelto can cause uncontrollable bleeding episodes which can result in severe injury or death.

The suit was filed in Vermont federal court under case number 2:14-cv-00159-cr on July 25th of 2014. It was filed by a daughter on behalf of her father, who died after suffering a parenchymal hemorrhage which his family claims was caused by the Xarelto prescription he was taking at the time of his death. A parenchymal hemorrhage is a brain bleed. Because Xarelto thins the blood, physicians were unable to clot the man’s bleed or prevent him from losing too much blood.

Because Xarelto was released to the market with no corresponding antidote, physicians were unable to counter its effects in this emergency situation. Traditional blood thinners do not pose this issue, as they have an available antidote in vitamin K. When patients with traditional blood thinners in their system begin to bleed, doctors are able to reverse the effects of the blood thinner by treating them with vitamin K, thus clotting their blood. This antidote can be the difference between life and death for patients with even seemingly minor bleeding injuries.

Xarelto is currently the subject of over 2,800 federal court lawsuits, as well as another 500 cases in a mass tort grouping in Philadelphia, PA. The federal court cases have been consolidated by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to form MDL number 2592. They currently await legal proceedings.

Attorney Joseph Osborne is working to ensure that anyone who has suffered from adverse health events after using Xarelto will have the opportunity to explore their legal rights. These individuals may be entitled to legal action and significant compensation. Currently, Attorney Osborne is offering free consultations to affected individuals.
