NJ Resident Files Xarelto Lawsuit Claiming Drug Caused Nearly Fatal GI Bleeding Episode

March 30, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on another lawsuit which has been filed against Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals in relation to the anticoagulant drug they manufacture, Xarelto. The complaint was filed under case number 2:15-cv-06264 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana on November 23rd, 2015. The plaintiff filing is a New Jersey resident who claims that these manufacturers have failed to sufficiently warn current and potential patients about certain health risks which are potentially linked to the new-generation blood thinner.

Unfortunately, this plaintiff is not alone in his complaints. Lawsuits filed against the same defendants in reference to Xarelto have appeared in high volume from across the United States. Cases filed in federal courts were transferred and consolidated to a single court by the U.S. JPML and now form multidistrict litigation number 2592. Today, they number over 2,800 complaints and are being overseen by Judge Eldon Fallon in Eastern Louisiana. Additionally, another mass tort program of over 600 lawsuits was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by the Court of Common Pleas. Plaintiffs in these cases also share strikingly similar complaints.

Further information found in lawsuit documents for this specific lawsuit indicated that after only six months of taking Xarelto, the plaintiff suddenly suffered from what he claims was a potentially life-threatening gastrointestinal bleed. Gastrointestinal bleeds can occur anywhere along the GI tract within the body, and can be fatal. Although the plaintiff is relieved to have survived the ordeal, he indicates that because of it, he will have long-term health problems and, therefore, extensive future medical bills.

Attorney Joseph Osborne understands the seriousness of these potential side effects, and how concerning these allegations might be for patients currently dependent upon Xarelto. He is working to assist anyone who believes their health was negatively affected after using Xarelto. He feels that it is critical that these individuals are offered the opportunity to fully investigate their legal rights in the matter. Affected parties may be entitled to substantial compensation gained through legal action. To better assist those who wish to look further into legal action, Attorney Osborne is offering free Xarelto consultations for qualifying patients at this time.
