A severe Xarelto bleeding event experienced by a user of the anticoagulant medication prompted him to come forward with a Xarelto injury lawsuit. The plaintiff has lodged a Xarelto bleeding event lawsuit after arguing that the company failed to warn him about the catastrophic risks of internal bleeding problems associated with the use of the popular medication Xarelto.

Xarelto Bleeding Event Leads to Injuries and Lawsuit

According to the complaint, the plaintiff who ultimately suffered this Xarelto bleeding event was originally prescribed the medication in December 2014. He continued to use the medication from December through February of the following year.

On January 17th of 2015, the plaintiff claims he suffered the Xarelto bleeding event that was severe, allegedly causing him to suffer catastrophic damages and injuries.

Xarelto is often prescribed to patients to minimize the risk of systemic embolism and the risk of stroke. It is also prescribed to patients to treat deep vein thrombosis as well as pulmonary embolism and to prevent DVT for those patients who are undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery.

Severe outcomes from use of Xarelto might prompt dangerous injuries and complications for the patient. Most patients know that using any medication comes with risks, but sometimes these side effects can be severe.

According to the Xarelto bleeding event lawsuit, however, the defendants negligently or fraudulently represented that the medication was safe for patient use to the public as well as to the FDA. The defendants, according to the Xarelto bleeding event lawsuit, had knowledge of the severe risks of internal bleeding that could have led to catastrophic injuries or even fatalities on behalf of users.

The Xarelto bleeding event lawsuit says that the defendants are responsible for the damages and injuries directly tied to this plaintiff’s experience, and the companies involved are accused of deceiving and defrauding the public as well as the healthcare community regarding the efficacy and safety of the medication.

As alleged in this Xarelto bleeding event lawsuit, defendants improperly and negligently failed to perform comprehensive tests that may have identified the significant risks associated with Xarelto bleeding events. The plaintiff in this particular case says he suffered internal bleeding as well as other dangerous side effects that prompted him to get medical attention.

The Xarelto bleeding event lawsuit says that the impact of these injuries is long term and has forced the plaintiff to suffer a diminished enjoyment of life. The plaintiff is therefore seeking compensatory damages as a result of these concerns.

Patients who have sustained serious issues tied to a Xarelto bleeding event may choose to file a lawsuit to assist with the recovery of damages related to that incident. If you believe you have grounds to pursue a Xarelto bleeding event lawsuit, you may qualify for a free legal consultation.
