Idaho endoscope lawsuits claim scope manufacturers failed to protect patients from super-bug infections. Unsanitary endoscopy equipment has been blamed for many bacterial and viral illnesses. (See our ID Scope Infection News)
As such, our Idaho endoscope lawyers are filing infection lawsuits for scope exam victims.

Idaho Endoscope Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
ID endoscope lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit Idaho, and 2) the severity of colon or throat exam injuries.
Idaho State Scope Infection Claims
When all parties reside in Idaho, endoscope lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (ID Courts Website). The Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for scope injury claims.
The State of Idaho follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, an Idaho scope infection lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by Olympus provided the plaintiff is less than 51% at fault. However, the gastrointestinal victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
9th Circuit Scope Infection Claims in Idaho
Idaho is part of the Ninth聽Circuit of the federal court system, and individual endoscope lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Scope exam appeals are heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the injuries are severe, endoscopy and colonoscopy claims can be filed in this court against defendants nationwide.
However, federal scope lawsuits filed in Idaho may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to an infection Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 9th Circuit endoscope compensation.)
