August 14, 2013 – More than 700 Pradaxa cases have now been filed in the Southern District of Illinois before Judge David Herndon. The majority of these cases claim gastrointestinal bleeding injuries, but there have also been many catastrophic bleeding events such as hemorrhagic stroke. Judge Herndon has set “Early Trials” or bellwether trials from the pool of already filed cases to begin on August 11, 2014. By doing so, the conclusion of these trials may set the tone for whatever jury awards or settlements, if any, plaintiffs with similar claims should receive.
Many of our clients’ cases have already been filed in the Pradaxa MDL, and our next step towards resolving your claim is to complete a court ordered Plaintiff’s Fact Sheet (PFS). This PFS includes a brief personal and medical history as a part of the pre-trial discovery phase of the lawsuit. If you have not yet completed, or received, a PFS, please be in contact with our office immediately. Once completed, we can move onto the next important step in this process by evaluating your case with a thorough understanding of your entire background.
