Xarelto Bleeding Injury $28M Verdict Tossed. What the court giveth, the court taketh away! Such is the capriciousness of the court system.

The first Xarelto Bleeding Injury plaintiff’s victory against Bayer and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) over Xarelto’s bleeding risks was short lived. In the case of Lynn Hartman, Judge Michael Erdos in Philadelphia this week entered a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, stating that a no reasonable jury could have reached the same conclusion.

The judge tanked the verdict after hearing arguments from Johnson & Johnson and it’s Janssen unit and Bayer that a physician for the plaintiff had testified that additional warnings would not have changed her decision to prescribe the drug.
