Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) Products Liability Litigation

Connecticut Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) Lawsuit Attorneys

Serious Bleeding Injuries Linked to Defective Blood Thinner

Xarelto, also known by its generic name rivaroxaban, is one of the most widely prescribed blood thinners in the United States, used to prevent strokes and treat blood clots in millions of patients. However, since its FDA approval, Xarelto has been linked to serious and sometimes fatal bleeding complications, leading to more than 25,000 lawsuits filed against the manufacturers Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Healthcare. At BBB Attorneys, we understand the devastating impact of severe bleeding injuries caused by a medication patients trusted, and we are committed to helping affected individuals throughout Connecticut pursue accountability and compensation from the pharmaceutical manufacturers responsible.


The Xarelto lawsuits allege that the manufacturers failed to warn patients and healthcare providers about the risk of uncontrollable bleeding, hemorrhaging, and other serious side effects associated with the medication. Lawsuits further allege that the manufacturers concealed information about these risks and the lack of an effective reversal agent for emergency situations. Plaintiffs seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from bleeding injuries, strokes, and wrongful deaths caused by Xarelto use. If you or a loved one suffered serious bleeding or other injuries after taking Xarelto, BBB Attorneys is prepared to help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you deserve.

How Did Xarelto Injuries Happen?

The claims involving Xarelto center on allegations that the blood thinner significantly increases the risk of severe and uncontrollable bleeding without providing patients or doctors with an effective way to reverse the medication in emergency situations. Many patients took Xarelto on the recommendation of their healthcare providers to prevent strokes and treat blood clots, only to later suffer serious bleeding injuries that required emergency medical care, surgery, or resulted in death. Lawsuits allege that Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Healthcare concealed or failed to disclose the known risks associated with the medication.


Some of the most common injuries linked to Xarelto use include:

  • Uncontrollable internal bleeding
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Brain hemorrhage
  • Hemorrhagic stroke
  • Wound leakage and infection
  • Deep vein thrombosis complications
  • Pulmonary embolism complications
  • Wrongful death from bleeding events

A serious bleeding injury linked to Xarelto use can be physically, emotionally, and financially devastating for victims and their families. Many individuals face emergency hospitalizations, surgeries, blood transfusions, extended recovery periods, and lasting effects on quality of life. In tragic cases, families have lost loved ones to uncontrollable bleeding events caused by the medication. Even patients who survive bleeding episodes may face long-term complications, ongoing medical care, and significant medical bills. BBB Attorneys understands the seriousness of these injuries and is committed to helping affected individuals and families pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by Xarelto.

YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS

What is Xarelto (Rivaroxaban)?
Xarelto, known by the generic name rivaroxaban, is a prescription anticoagulant medication used to prevent and treat blood clots. It works by inhibiting the blood clotting protein Factor Xa, reducing the formation of blood clots and lowering the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. Xarelto is also used to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to reduce the risk of blood clots in patients following orthopedic surgery. Manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Healthcare, Xarelto has been the subject of significant product liability litigation.
What are the Xarelto lawsuits about?
The Xarelto lawsuits involve allegations that the blood thinner caused serious bleeding injuries, internal hemorrhaging, wound complications, and in some cases death. Plaintiffs claim that the manufacturers, Janssen Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Healthcare, knew or should have known about these risks but failed to warn patients and healthcare providers. Lawsuits also allege that the manufacturers concealed information about the risks of uncontrollable bleeding and the lack of an effective reversal agent. More than 25,000 Xarelto lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers.
What injuries are linked to Xarelto use?
Xarelto has been linked to several serious side effects, including uncontrollable internal bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, brain hemorrhage, hemorrhagic stroke, wound leakage and infection following surgery, deep vein thrombosis complications, and in some cases wrongful death. Unlike older blood thinners such as warfarin, Xarelto historically lacked an effective reversal agent, making bleeding episodes especially dangerous and difficult for doctors to control during emergencies.
Who may qualify for a Xarelto lawsuit?
Individuals may qualify for a Xarelto lawsuit if they took Xarelto (rivaroxaban) and subsequently suffered serious bleeding injuries, internal hemorrhaging, wound complications, stroke, or other significant side effects. Eligibility may also extend to surviving family members in cases involving wrongful death. Determining eligibility depends on the specific injuries suffered, the timing of Xarelto use, and supporting medical evidence. BBB Attorneys provides a complimentary case review to evaluate eligibility and determine the strongest legal options available.
What compensation can Xarelto victims recover?
Xarelto lawsuit victims may be able to recover compensation for past and future medical expenses, hospitalizations, surgeries, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, funeral costs in wrongful death cases, and other related damages. In cases involving severe injuries or particularly egregious corporate conduct, punitive damages may also be available. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of the injuries, the impact on the victim's life, and the strength of the supporting evidence.
