Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiff Claims Anticoagulant Caused Bleeding Death Of Grandmother

March 21, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on a lawsuit which was filed against Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a subdivision of Johnson & Johnson corporation ) in reference to their new-generation, blood-thinning drug, Xarelto. The complaint was filed in a U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana under case number 2:15-cv-05874 by a granddaughter on behalf of her grandmother who is now deceased. The plaintiff claims that her grandmother died after experiencing a sudden and severe bleed while taking Xarelto.

According to further details in lawsuit documents, the grandmother had been prescribed Xarelto to treat her deep vein thrombosis condition in September 2014. Only two months later, the woman suddenly developed a brain bleed. Documents state that doctors called the bleed “irreversible and fatal” after unsuccessfully attempting to clot the blood.

Today, the granddaughter has filed a wrongful death suit alleging that Xarelto caused her grandmother’s brain bleed and subsequent death. She indicates that because her grandmother’s blood was thinned, it would not clot despite physicians attempts. She indicates that had she been better made aware of these dangers, she would have helped her grandmother to select an alternative treatment.

This case will now join with more than 2,800 others which have been filed against Xarelto by plaintiffs from across the U.S. who allege strikingly similar complaints. Lawsuits which were federally-filed have been transferred to a single court by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation and formed into MDL 2592. These lawsuits are also joined by more than 600 cases in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which were formed into a mass tort program by the Court of Common Pleas. Together, these Xarelto lawsuits number over 3,400, and continue to grow in number today.

As the many plaintiffs involved await trial, Attorney Joseph Osborne is working to assist anyone who used Xarelto and suffered from health problems that they attribute to the drug. These patients deserve the important opportunity to evaluate their legal rights in the matter. Patients who have suffered may be entitled to significant compensation through legal action. To assist those wishing to pursue justice, Attorney Osborne is currently offering free legal consultations for affected parties.
