Xarelto Lawyers Reviewing Cases Nationwide for Bleeding Injury, Wrongful Death
The product liability lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are now providing free consultations and claim evaluations for individuals and families throughout the United States who may be entitled to financial compensation through an Xarelto lawsuit.
Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is part of a new class of anticoagulants that have been introduced in recent years as a superior alternative to warfarin (Coumadin) for prevention of strokes, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. The drug is promoted as easier to use, since it requires less monitoring during treatment.
However, unlike warfarin, there is no effective reversal agent for Xarelto to allow doctors to control bleeding or hemorrhaging that may occur while using the medication. As a result of inadequate warnings provided about the bleeding risk with Xarelto and the lack of an approved antidote, thousands of severe injuries and deaths have been reported among users of the drug.
The first medication approved in the U.S. from this new class of blood thinners was Pradaxa, which has been the subject of several thousand bleeding injury lawsuits. It was announced last month that the maker of that drug will pay an estimated $650 million to settle Pradaxa lawsuits filed by about 4,000 people nationwide.
It appears that similar compensation may be available for users of Xarelto who have required medical treatment, hospitalization or died as a result of:
- Gastrointestinal Bleeds
- Brain Hemorrhages
- Kidney Bleeding
- Hemorrhagic Stroke
- Other Uncontrollable Bleeding Problems
Despite information establishing the link between Xarelto and bleeding problems, Johnson & Johnson and Bayer continued to promote this controversial anticoagulant as safe and effective, withholding information about the risk of uncontrollable bleeding and the lack of an antidote.
If the drug makers had taken steps to recall Xarelto, provide stronger warnings or develop a reversal agent, many users throughout the United States may have avoided serious injury or death.
