PHILADELPHIA, March 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports that Bayer and Johnson & Johnson made a recent announcement that they will pursue additional FDA approvals for Xarelto, even as cases against the blood thinner are consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in two U.S. courts. The announcement was made last month, according to Drug Watch, that Bayer and J&J are seeking further federal approvals for Xarelto for stroke patients.

Reports have also come in that plaintiffs have continued to file lawsuits over the blood thinner, and in December and January, judges in both Pennsylvania and Louisiana consolidated the filed cases into multidistrict litigation as well as a mass tort program. Now, more than 100 filed lawsuits are awaiting trial. The lawsuits claim serious health problems and even death as a result of using the blood thinner, Xarelto. In light of the recent announcements, Legal-Bay is reaffirming the fact that they are sufficiently prepared to handle large Xarelto pre-settlement funding requests for those who have experienced complications from using the blood thinner.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the recent announcement, "We believe off of the last Pradaxa blood thinner settlement that Xarelto is a litigation that is also gaining a lot of traction. The injuries of serious uncontrollable bleeding, as well as death, make the potential liability very high for Xarelto's drug maker. Although Xarelto's maker continues to fight liability, and we expect this litigation to drag on for years, we are already committed to helping plaintiffs with lawsuit funding or assistance with getting a free Xarelto case evaluation from a qualified Xarelto law firm."
