Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiffs Look To Bellwether Trial Preparations In Eastern Louisiana For MDL No 2592 Complaints

April 06, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on bellwether trial preparations which are taking place for more than 2,800 federally-filed Xarelto lawsuits. These lawsuits were consolidated by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to form MDL No. 2592. This consolidation was possible as the complaints name the same defendants and also share strikingly similar allegations that Xarelto use puts patients at heightened risk for sudden and dangerous bleeding episodes, which can be fatal. These cases continue to rise in number as they prepare for early 2017 bellwether trials, and are centralized in the U.S District Court of Eastern Louisiana and overseen by Judge Eldon Fallon.

According to a court order given by the Honorable Judge Fallon on December 17, 2015, the process of selecting 40 lawsuits from those consolidated to form the MDL has taken place. The 40 cases selected were to form a bellwether pool, from which ultimately 4 cases will be chosen from to be heard in bellwether trials. These bellwether trials are designed to give those involved in the lawsuits (on both sides) a better idea of how juries might respond to certain pieces of evidence or testimony.

Judge Fallon also indicated that the lawsuits selected by each side were to involve alleged victims from a few different categories: Xarelto users who claim to have suffered from a gastrointestinal bleed, brain hemorrhage, or rectal bleeding while using the drug to prevent strokes, as well as those who took Xarelto and claim to have suffered from gastrointestinal bleeds, brain hemorrhages, or rectal bleeding while they were trying to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism conditions.

Today, Xarelto lawsuits number in the thousands and continue to grow as time goes on. They were filed against defendants Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals (a division of Johnson & Johnson), who manufacture the drug. Attorney Osborne is working to help other patients who took Xarelto and experienced health problems that they feel were caused by the drug. He wants to help ensure that all affected patients will be given the important opportunity of exploring their legal rights in the matter, as they may be entitled to significant compensation. At this time, Attorney Osborne is offering complimentary legal consultations for qualified parties.
