NJ Resident Files Xarelto Lawsuit Claiming Drug Caused Nearly Fatal Gastrointestinal Bleed

March 07, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on another lawsuit filed against Xarelto manufacturers Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals claiming adverse events related to the drug. This complaint was filed on November 23rd, 2015 by a New Jersey resident who claims that Bayer and Janssen have failed to adequately warn consumers about potentially severe health risks linked to the use of the anticoagulant.

The lawsuit is now listed under case number 2:15-cv-06264 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, where all federally-filed Xarelto lawsuits have been transferred by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to form MDL No. 2592. Here, more than 2,800 cases are being presided over by Judge Eldon Fallon. They contain strikingly similar allegations against Xarelto and its manufacturers from plaintiffs from across the United States.

Further details of this specific lawsuit found within court documents indicate that after only six months of taking Xarelto, the plaintiff suddenly suffered from what physicians considered a life-threatening gastrointestinal bleed. Because of this bleeding episode, the plaintiff now claims that he will suffer from long-term health problems, and will, therefore, have years of medical bills ahead of him as well. He is filing to obtain financial assistance for these mounting bills, which he says will likely continue into his distant future.

These 2,800 Xarelto lawsuits are not the only ones, however. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, another mass tort group has been formed of more than 550 lawsuits by the Court of Common Pleas. The plaintiffs involved in these lawsuits share the same allegations as well, mainly claiming that anticoagulant drug Xarelto can cause sudden and dangerous bleeding episodes and serious, lasting side effects. Some have filed suits on behalf of loved ones who have actually passed away due to the extent of their bleeding episodes. Plaintiffs claim that manufacturers showed reckless negligence by initially releasing the blood thinner to market for consumer use without any accompanying antidote for emergency bleeding situations, as other traditional blood thinners offered.

Attorney Joseph Osborne has watched as Xarelto lawsuit case numbers continue to increase and is now working to ensure that everyone who feels that their health has been adversely affected by the blood thinner will be provided the important opportunity of investigating their legal rights in full. These individuals may be entitled to legal action and substantial compensation. To help those most deserving pursue justice, Attorney Osborne is offering free Xarelto consultations for qualified individuals at this time.
