PHILADELPHIA, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports today that two new court documents were issued in consolidated litigations regarding Xarelto in Pennsylvania and Louisiana. According to court documents, a court order dated March 24^th for the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana, where the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) for Xarelto is being overseen, indicates that plaintiffs will now be able to file cases directly in the proceeding (In Re: Xarelto Products Liability Litigation, No. 2592). Also, in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania, court documents from March 23^rd show that plaintiffs who have claims and want to file suits will be able to use a Master Long Form Complaint in Pennsylvania's (PA) mass tort proceeding for Xarelto (In Re: Xarelto Litigation, Case ID 150102349).

Currently, according to court documents, there are more than 300 lawsuits filed over Xarelto just in the federal litigation in Louisiana, while there are about 160 known cases as of now with similar claims pending in Pennsylvania's mass tort proceeding. The lawsuits against Bayer and Johnson & johnson's Janssen Pharmaceutical Division include claims of serious health problems and even death as a result of using the blood thinner, Xarelto, because of uncontrollable bleeding events. According to experts, there is no known antidote at this time. In light of the recent announcements, Legal-Bay, a law cash advance company, 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 of the issuance of the two court documents, "Although this litigation is in the early stages and J&J continues to defend liability aggressively, we are one of the only companies in the legal funding industry stepping up to assist Xarelto patients with getting some financial relief today while their cases drag through the courts. Our Xarelto lawsuit cash advance program enables plaintiffs to access funds throughout the duration of their case, which could take years to resolve. At this point, it is uncertain if there will ever be a settlement in this case; however, settlement amounts in the Pradaxa blood thinner litigation saw an average settlement value of $160K per case, and we believe the values in Xarelto could be similar if a jury were to side with the plaintiffs."
