You May Be Entitled to Compensation
SUBMIT THE ONLINE INQUIRY BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Many patients undergo routine medical procedures involving reusable scopes and expect to return home the same day. Unfortunately, some patients develop serious infections, sepsis, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, or other complications after these procedures.
Investigations and lawsuits have alleged that certain reusable Olympus scopes may have been difficult to adequately disinfect between patients, potentially exposing patients to dangerous bacteria and infections.
If you or a loved one developed a serious infection after a colonoscopy, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, ERCP, cystoscopy, or another scope procedure, you may have legal rights.

Why These Cases Matter
Patients trust that medical equipment has been properly cleaned and sterilized before use.
Multiple lawsuits have alleged that certain reusable medical scopes were designed in a way that allowed dangerous bacteria and contaminants to remain inside the device even after cleaning and disinfection procedures were performed.
As a result, patients may have suffered preventable infections that led to hospitalization, additional surgeries, long-term health complications, or death.
What Compensation May Be Available?
