Xarelto Attorneys: Pretrial Update on National Xarelto Lawsuits

In the latest Xarelto lawsuit news from attorneys handling national Xarelto claims for the Onder Law Firm, pretrial proceedings are advancing with discussions on discovery and coordination.

Wednesday, April 8, 2015 - Attorneys handling national Xarelto lawsuits report progress in the multidistrict litigation* now underway in United States District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana. According to court documents, a Status Conference was held on April 1, 2015 during which multiple topics were addressed including coordination between U.S. District Court and various state courts where Xarelto lawsuits are also underway, and discovery procedures. Xarelto lawyers provide regular Xarelto lawsuit news updates and detailed information about Xarelto side effects at their website, XareltoContingencyLawsuitCenter.com.

Xarelto lawsuits alleging the drug had caused severe internal bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke were first consolidated in Louisiana in December of 2014. The litigation, known as Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) Products Liability Litigation now includes a total of 311 pending actions which have originated throughout the nation, according to court documents as of April 6, 2015.

Each of these 311 actions shares common questions of fact, alleging that Xarelto caused severe internal bleeding, stroke, or another serious health issue, in each of the plaintiffs, according to court documents. Furthermore, these Xarelto lawsuits make a common allegation that Janssen Pharmaceutical and Development, the company responsible for manufacturing and marketing Xarelto, failed to share its knowledge of the drug‘s defects, according to court documents. Given that the drug has no known antidote to stop severe bleeding, which is known by the pharmaceutical company and the public, plaintiffs assert the severe bleeding risks should have been clearly communicated to medical professionals and consumers, according to court documents.

Plaintiffs in this case include individuals who allege they have suffered from severe bleeding events, as well as family members who allege they have lost loved ones as a result of Xarelto side effects, according to court documents. The U.S. District Judge assigned to the case is Eldon E. Fallon.

The multidistrict litigation is still in very early stages and attorneys handling Xarelto bleeding lawsuits expect the number of actions to rise as more consumers learn of the litigation, according to the Onder Law Firm. The next status conference is scheduled for May 13 at 9 am.
