Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiffs Claim Blood Thinner Caused Severe And Lasting Side Effects

March 02, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on a lawsuit filed against Xarelto manufacturers Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson corporation) and Bayer AG. The plaintiffs who filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana under case number 2:15-cv-06514, are a married couple from Nebraska who commonly claim that the defendants manufactured an unsafe medication. Additionally, they allege that because of the husband’s use of Xarelto, he currently suffers from severe and long-term side effects following a dangerous uncontrollable bleeding episode. The couple also states that because of this, the man’s life expectancy has now been shortened.

Additional details found in court documents state that the husband took Xarelto for 7 months in 2013, from May through December. In December, he suddenly suffered from a gastrointestinal bleeding event. The couple claims that this serious bleed was initiated by the blood thinner. Unfortunately, the doctors struggled to clot the man’s blood, as Xarelto was in his system at the time, and an antidote for the drug had not yet been developed.

The plaintiffs in this lawsuit are joined by many others from across the country who share common allegations against the same defendants. Xarelto has recently become the subject of thousands of lawsuits which claim that the anticoagulant puts patients at increased risk for the development of serious and sudden bleeding episodes. Xarelto lawsuits filed in federal courts across the U.S. have been consolidated by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to form MDL No. 2592. The MDL now holds over 2,800 cases and is located in Eastern Louisiana. These cases are additionally joined by another group of over 550 which have formed a mass tort group in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

By filing suit, the plaintiffs in this particular case are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, and monetary compensation for legal fees incurred. Attorney Joseph Osborne is currently working to ensure that everyone who feels they may have been negatively affected by the blood thinner will be afforded the same opportunity to pursue justice. These patients may be entitled to legal action and significant compensation. To better assist those looking for justice, Attorney Osborne is providing complimentary legal consultations for affected parties at this time.
