Case Overview

What Happened

The Olympus Endoscope Infections case involves serious harm caused by negligence or corporate wrongdoing. Our legal team is investigating claims on behalf of affected individuals.

Who Is Affected

Individuals, families, and businesses who suffered damages may be eligible to pursue compensation through this coordinated legal action.

Why It Matters Legally

Holding responsible parties accountable requires aggressive legal representation. Our attorneys are building cases to secure maximum compensation for victims.

Lawsuits allege that certain Olympus Medical Systems endoscopes had design flaws that made them difficult to fully clean, putting patients at risk of serious infection, and that the company failed to adequately warn patients and providers. Patients who underwent endoscopic procedures and developed infections or illness may have legal claims. Keosian Law LLP is reviewing Olympus endoscope claims for California patients and their families at no cost. The review is investigative and no outcome is guaranteed.

Why Endoscope Design Matters

Duodenoscopes and other complex endoscopes contain narrow channels and moving elevator mechanisms that can be very difficult to clean and disinfect fully between patients. Federal health agencies have issued safety communications about infections, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria, transmitted through reprocessed scopes. Lawsuits allege that design features and inadequate cleaning instructions or warnings contributed to patient infections.

Infections and Injuries Under Review

Reviews focus on patients who developed a serious bacterial infection, such as a CRE or other drug-resistant infection, sepsis, or a related complication shortly after an ERCP, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, or similar procedure. Hospitalization, prolonged antibiotic treatment, and long-term health effects are all relevant.

Records to Gather

Procedure reports, the date and facility of the procedure, lab cultures identifying the bacteria, hospitalization records, and any letter from the hospital notifying you of possible exposure are the most helpful documents. If a loved one died after such an infection, family members may be able to pursue a claim. California time limits may apply. Our review is investigative and no outcome is guaranteed.
