"We are pleased that Xarelto bleeding lawsuits will begin going to trial in 2017," says François Blaudeau , the founder of Southern Med Law. "The results of these Xarelto trials could provide information on how Xarelto lawsuits involving similar allegations and injuries could be decided."

Xarelto was launched on the U.S. market in 2011, and is now approved to reduce the risk of strokes, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and blood clots in patients who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery. Its approved indications also include the prevention of blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation, as well as the treatment of DVT and PE.

Well over 2,000 Xarelto lawsuits have been filed in the Eastern District of Louisiana since the federal Xarelto litigation was established in December 2014. All of the cases were filed on behalf of individuals who allegedly suffer brain bleeds and other Xarelto complications, including internal bleeding episodes that resulted in hospitalization for transfusion or death. Plaintiffs accuse the drug's manufacturers of failing to provide doctors and patients with adequate warnings about these risks. They also charge that sales of the Xarelto were driven by misleading promises that the medication was superior to warfarin, a blood thinner that has been on the market for nearly 60 years. Among other things, the complaints note that there is no approved antidote to treat the internal bleeding that is sometimes associated with Xarelto. However, warfarin bleeding can be easily ended with the administration of vitamin K.

Federal Xarelto bleeding lawsuits were consolidated in the Eastern District of Louisiana in order to improve judicial efficiency and preserve the resources of the court, witnesses and parties. The multidistrict litigation process prevents duplicative discovery and inconsistent court rulings among a large number of cases sharing similar allegations of fact.
