Xarelto compensation settlements for 25,000 cases
Rivaroxaban / Xarelto compensation settlements have landed in the U.S., to the tune of $775m for around 25,000 cases being pursued.
The money is to be paid out by both Bayer AG and Johnson & Johnson as the co-creators of the drug. They strenuously deny any wrongdoing, and maintain that the drug is safe for use. However, the settlements have been agreed without any admission of liability.
The blood-thinning medication that’s used for stroke patients has been at the centre of concerns for quite some time. We’re representing patients who have suffered side-effects from using the drug as part of claims for personal injury compensation. Although the settlement is for the U.S. only, this is a positive step in the global fight for justice.
Xarelto compensation settlements a significant milestone
The news of the massive Xarelto compensation settlements is a significant milestone in the fight for justice for those who have suffered problems.
Although Bayer and J&J deny any issues, and make the settlements without any admission of fault, Xarelto (also known as Rivaroxaban) has been at the centre of controversy for a while now. There has been talk in the past of an alleged “cover-up” where pertinent information about alleged side-effects of the drug was reportedly withheld from regulators.
Such allegations are also denied, but the depth of the stories surrounding the use of the medication is concerning.
Xarelto compensation settlements: positive news for patients
The news of the Xarelto compensation settlements is likely to be received well by the thousands of people who have suffered problems over the years the drug has been on the market.
The issues and complications that can be caused can reportedly include uncontrollable internal bleeding, including bleeds on the brain. Some users of the drug have passed away, and fatalities have been reportedly linked to use of the medication.
This is a serious issue.
