Xarelto Class Action Lawsuit
Xarelto is a popular blood thinner with over 1 million prescriptions filled in the United States. An increasing number of patients, however, report serious internal bleeding events immediately or shortly after using the medication. While the drug has not been recalled, lawsuits against Xarelto manufacturers are underway to compensate victims and their families.

Xarelto Class Action Not Formed
In a Xarelto class action proceeding, all claimants nationwide or within a given state would join in a single lawsuit. At the end of the case, any settlement or judgment would be divided amongst the class members according to their general type of injury.
Despite the widespread use of the drug, however, a Xarelto class action has not been established. Rather, the litigation consists of hundreds of individual lawsuits filed by claimants in various state and federal courts around the country. This allows each Xarelto bleeding victim to be represented by their own attorney, litigate the facts of their own case, and pursue compensation for their unique legal damages. These can include medical expenses, time away from work, impact on spouses and family members, and other significant injuries.
Xarelto Mass Tort Proceedings
While a Xarelto class action lawsuit has not been formed, cases may still be coordinated with one another under an existing “mass tort” program. For instance, all Xarelto lawsuits filed in federal courts throughout the country have now been centralized in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana (MDL No. 2592). In addition, a coordinated state court action has been formed in Pennsylvania in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 140802597). Your lawyer can advise you on the proper venue in which to file your case after a detailed analysis of your claim.
