Judge Fallon in New Orleans to Oversee Xarelto MDL
The blood thinning drug Xarelto, which is manufactured and marketed by the companies Bayer and Johnson & Johnson, has been known to lead to internal hemorrhaging and uncontrollable bleeding. This deadly side effect was never fully disclosed by the drug companies. If you, or a loved one, have used Xarelto and suffered from bleeding, or if a loved one has passed away after using Xarelto, you may be able to file a Xarelto lawsuit. Your case will help you collect compensation to cover medical expenses and other damages.

Xarelto Lawsuits Consolidated to MDL
Often when a particular allegation comes up in multiple lawsuits, it will be consolidated to a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). This means that rather than have the same trial going on all over the country, it will only need to be done once at a centralized location. In essence the verdict only needs to be reached one time, and from there individual cases can be determined and compensation can be awarded based on the amount of the individual’s loss.
Since there are already 50 Xarelto lawsuits that have been filed, with many more expected to come as more people are made aware that their internal bleeding was caused by this drug, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) has decided to centralize the litigation under Judge Fallon in New Orleans. This highly experienced judge has a great track record of coming to fair conclusions when dealing with MDL cases.
Your Xarelto Lawsuit
Those who take Xarelto are at an increased risk of developing internal bleeding and unstoppable hemorrhaging. Because Xarelto is a blood thinner, it makes the blood unable to clot. This is a good thing for those who are at risk of developing blood clots that could lead to heart attack, stroke, or other serious problems. However, when the blood cannot clot, it cannot stop internal bleeding either.
Xarelto can cause internal bleeding, and there is no way to reverse the effects of the drug. Instead, the victim must be hospitalized, and the bleeding must be treated locally until the blood thinning medication has left the system. This could take quite a while, and leave the individual in a precarious situation. If this has happened to you, then you may be able to take part in the Xarelto MDL lawsuit.
