Lawyers from Pensacola’s Levin Papantonio Thomas Mitchell Rafferty Proctor law firm helped lead the way to a $775 million global settlement with Bayer and Johnson & Johnson on claims they failed to warn about the risks of taking the blood thinner Xarelto.
The litigation involved nearly 25,000 claims pending in a multidistrict litigation in federal court plus nearly 2,000 pending in Pennsylvania state court. Six cases had been tried, and all of them are based on claims that Bayer and J&J subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals failed to adequately warn about dangerous bleeding episodes.
