Pradaxa Bleeding Lawsuit Claims Drug Caused Mother’s Death
By Andrea Gressman
Another Pradaxa internal bleeding lawsuit has been filed, this time by a Tennessee man who claims the popular blood-thinning medication is responsible for the death of his mother. Imogen Lunsford, the mother of the Plaintiff, James Lunsford, passed away on April 7, 2011 due to complications from Pradaxa gastrointestinal bleeding.
According to the Pradaxa lawsuit, filed on August 8, 2012, Ms. Lunsford was hospitalized on March 29, 2011 because of Pradaxa gastrointestinal bleeding. Although she was treated with dialysis and the Pradaxa was removed from her system, she subsequently passed away a few days after her treatment.
The Pradaxa internal bleeding lawsuit has been filed in the Western District of Tennessee’s United States’ District Court and is against the Pradaxa drug maker, Boehringer Ingelheim. The claim of the Pradaxa lawsuit is that the company’s product is what caused the Plaintiff’s mother’s death.
Pradaxa Lawsuit Plaintiff Seeks Compensation
Mr. Lunsford’s Pradaxa internal bleeding lawsuit is seeking financial compensation from Boehringer Ingelheim to help cover the medical and funeral costs associated with his mother’s Pradaxa bleeding death.
Fatalities as a result of side effects from Pradaxa seem to be occurring at a higher rate than other blood-thinning drugs similar to Pradaxa. One reason that this may be occurring is because of the fact that no reversal agent exists that would help to reverse the side effects that Pradaxa is known to cause, such as the internal bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhaging. This fact has been sighted in a number of Pradaxa bleeding lawsuits to date.
