The class action lawsuit states that the manufacturers of Xarelto were aware of these risks of prolonged bleeding, but the FDA, doctors, and patients negligently warned of these side effects, and in particular that there is no antidote to the uncontrolled bleeding that follows use. In most cases, lawyers who file cases such as Xarelto lawsuits work urgently. This means you won`t pay legal fees unless your lawyer gets a judgment or settlement on your behalf. If you win and reach a settlement, you will pay all attorneys` fees for your award. Subsequently, a medical device used for Xarelto in the ROCKET-AF clinical trial, INRatio, was recalled from its manufacturer, Alere Inc. Plaintiffs in several Xarelto lawsuits argue that the device did not work properly and provided readings that made Xarelto appear more effective than warfarin. That was more than enough to take legal action. Their lawyers say this is further evidence that Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceutical were reckless and negligent in their eagerness to bring the highly profitable bloodthinner to market. Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceutical are currently facing more than 4500 cases that have been combined into a class action lawsuit in Louisiana and several other states. There are at least 7200 such prosecutions pending, and the first round is expected to go to court in early 2017. Drug manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that they produce safe and reliable drugs. If they do not properly test the medicine, market it in a misleading manner or even reject off-label uses of a particular medicine, they run the risk of causing serious harm to consumers.

At this point, the makers of Xarelto are facing serious lawsuits alleging that they used deceptive marketing to sell Xarelto and minimize the risk of the drug. In addition, they have offered doctors no effective way to control excessive bleeding, allegedly fraudulently claiming that their medications are far more effective than traditional blood thinners. Consider this: Would you have taken rivaroxaban (the generic brand name) if you had been aware of the risk of excessive bleeding, or would your doctor have prescribed it if these reactions were known? These are crucial questions that plaintiffs are seeking answers to in their Xarelto lawsuits. The most common complaint against Johnson & Johnson and Bayer AG is that the drug caused uncontrollable bleeding events and patients were not properly warned of the risk of such events. Since there is no antidote to Xarelto, uncontrolled bleeding episodes can be dangerous and even fatal. The lawyers argued that Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceutical were aware of the risks of uncontrollable bleeding and the absence of an antidote, but rushed through clinical trials to bring it to market anyway and failed to adequately inform consumers of the risks of the drug. My mother had to fix a small hole in her heart. Before the hand, his doctor prescribed Xarelto. We were told that this was a non-life-threatening procedure. The procedure did not go well and resulted in internal bleeding. After returning home, she was told that she had to continue Xarelto. A few hours later, she was back in the hospital.

In less than two weeks, my mother had died because of [show more] My mother had to have a small hole in her heart repaired. Before the hand, his doctor prescribed Xarelto. We were told that this was a non-life-threatening procedure. The procedure did not go well and resulted in internal bleeding. After returning home, she was told that she had to continue Xarelto. A few hours later, she was back in the hospital. Within two weeks, my mother had died due to internal gastrointestinal ruptures and bleeding that led to sepsis. I agree that this drug is intended to kill the elderly.

I am shocked and find it hard to believe that judges are taking action against trial victims. What a pathetic joke. If my mother had never taken Xarelto, I believe she would still be alive today. To learn more about your legal options, watch this interesting video: More than 25,000 cases are currently settled against the makers of Xarelto. Should you or a loved one be among them? The comparative value for the average Xarelto case will likely be between $75,000 and $300,000 for cases with serious injury or death, depending on how those cases go from here. This area is based on what similar violations have agreed in the past in relation to mass crimes. It also takes into account what Bayer, Johnson & Johnson and Janssen have paid in similar recent litigation, including the Yaz cases, where the average settlement was just north of $200,000. The question now is what is the quality of the liability case against Bayer and to what extent Bayer is prepared to roll the dice and let these cases go to court.

Keep in mind that Xarelto still generated $3.7 billion in revenue. Do you think this will influence Bayer and J&J`s views on these cases? If this makes you angry, you`re not alone. The negligence and contempt charged here are very serious. Hundreds of people have already died and thousands more have negatively affected their health because of these very unpleasant side effects. And the manufacturers of these drugs have an army of lawyers who make millions every year and protect them from the legal consequences of these kinds of destructive, profit-driven decisions. How can you oppose that? You can`t. Not alone. Serious risks of wound complications and infection rates after knee and hip surgery have occurred when taking Xarelto. People taking Xarelto are more likely to have another surgery within 30 days.

Thousands of patients who claim to have been seriously injured by Xarelto (rivaroxaban) have sued pharmaceutical companies for compensation. Others said their loved ones had suffered fatal injuries as a result of taking the blood thinner. After routine surgery to replace my right hip at the end of September 2012, I was prescribed Xarelto and started taking Xarelto before leaving the hospital. Before I was discharged from the hospital, I vividly remember being asked if I would rather take a pill or have daily injections in my stomach to protect myself from blood clots. Who wants injections in the stomach, so I decided to take the pill. There was no warning or discussion after routine surgery to replace the right hip in late September. In 2012, I was prescribed and started taking Xarelto before leaving the hospital. Before I was discharged from the hospital, I vividly remember being asked if I would rather take a pill or have daily injections in my stomach to protect myself from blood clots. Who wants injections in the stomach, so I decided to take the pill. There was no warning or discussion about the possibility of severe bleeding or that there was no antidote to reverse the effect of the drug.

The next morning, I woke up with what looked like heavy bruises on my back, buttocks, and right leg. Later, I learned that the bruises were accumulations of blood. Luckily, my follow-up nurse came to my house for routine blood tests and knew immediately something was wrong. She sped up my lab work and contacted my doctor to tell me not to take Xarelto again. Shortly after, I received a call from my doctor asking me to return to the hospital immediately and that he would inform the emergency room of my coming. My blood test that morning showed that my hemoglobin was 7.8, my normal results were usually well above 15. I was hospitalized and received two units of blood. I spent most of the next 3 days in the hospital with the worst headaches of my life and soaking sweats that required a constant change of clothes and bed. The good news is that I have since recovered and consider myself very lucky after checking the many other victims with severe bleeding. Sharyn`s husband, Joseph Orr, filed a wrongful homicide lawsuit against Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The lawsuit alleged that Xarelto was unreasonably dangerous.

The lawsuit also alleged that Janssen Pharmaceuticals did not indicate on the label that a prothrombin (PT) synchronization test would show the amount of Xarelto in the patient`s blood. In the emergency room, the neurosurgeon delayed surgery on Sharyn`s skull because he didn`t know how much Xarelto was circulating in her body. The statute of limitations for filing a Xarelto lawsuit varies from state to state. Most state laws start the clock the moment you knew or should have known about your injuries. But it also depends on the nature of the claim. The best thing to do is to contact a Xarelto lawyer. You can find out if you have a legal basis to take action against Xarelto. You should be aware that product liability lawyers across the country are actively pursuing claims against Johnson & Johnson, Bayer and Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The lawsuits they filed allege that the manufacturers were negligent in manufacturing the drug, failed to test the drug properly, and failed to warn patients of the risk of uncontrolled bleeding. Some lawsuits go even further, alleging misleading advertising, including concealing evidence of dangers to government and the public, misrepresenting the drug`s safety in its marketing materials, and falsely advertising the drug as not requiring oversight, undermining the determination of the drug`s suitability for a particular patient.
