BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on a lawsuit which has been filed against Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer AG in reference to the blood thinning drug they manufacture, Xarelto. Janssen is a subdivision of the Johnson & Johnson corporation. The plaintiffs who have filed this lawsuit are a married couple from Nebraska who together allege that the defendants manufactured an unsafe anticoagulant. They claim that due to his Xarelto use, the husband suffered serious and lasting side effects, including sudden uncontrollable bleeding and shortened life expectancy.
Details from the couple’s complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana under number 2:15-cv-06514, indicates that the husband used Xarelto for 7 months, from May of 2013 through December of 2013, when he unexpectedly suffered from a gastrointestinal bleed which the couple alleges was caused by the blood thinner. Due to the fact that the man had Xarelto in his system at the time of the bleed, physicians had tremendous difficulty clotting the blood.
This husband and wife are not alone in their complaint. Xarelto has recently been the topic of continually increasing lawsuits from across the U.S., all which similarly allege that the drug puts users at increased risk for uncontrollable bleeding episodes. These federally-filed lawsuits have been consolidated by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to form MDL No. 2592, which includes over 2,800 cases today. Many believe that these numbers will only continue to increase as the plaintiffs involved await trials. The MDL is being overseen in the Eastern District of Louisiana by the Honorable Judge Eldon Fallon.
The plaintiffs who have filed this lawsuit are seeking compensatory and punitive damages and also compensation to cover the costs of litigation. As they await justice, Attorney Joseph Osborne is working to ensure that everyone negatively affected by Xarelto will have the same opportunity to pursue justice. Those affected may be entitled to legal action and significant compensation. To help facilitate this process, Attorney Osborne is currently providing complimentary legal consultations for affected individuals.
