Personal Injury

As reported by WZTV, a routine colonoscopy became a nightmare for a local Nashville endoscopy patient who has come forward to reveal that more than two months after the procedure, Vanderbilt staffers told her she could have been exposed to HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C as a result of the use of unsterilized medical equipment.

Lieff Cabraser is investigating these and other reports that colonoscopy patients at Vanderbilt — and possibly other area clinics as well — have been exposed to horrific infections because of lapses in the proper application of endoscopy solutions, solutions which may have become contaminated with HIV and other deadly pathogens.

If you or a family member suspect that you were exposed to lethal illnesses during a colonoscopy/endoscopy procedure in the Nashville area, we urge you to contact a nationally-recognized personal injury lawyer at Lieff Cabraser today about your case and potential recovery.

Lieff Cabraser has played a leading role in many of the largest, most important personal injury law and wrongful death lawsuits in the U.S. over the last 50 years. These cases have involved negligent conduct as well as a vast range of defective products — including dangerous prescription drugs like the opioids that were overdistributed and overprescribed to harm communities nationwide and products like talcum powder linked to ovarian cancer, faulty medical devices, unsafe vehicles, and dangerous consumer products. In many cases, in addition to financial recovery, we have assisted our clients in persuading corporate defendants to issue recalls and otherwise improve their safety procedures and oversight for the protection of all consumers and patients. For this and other ongoing work, Lieff Cabraser received the New York Law Journal’s “Class Action Litigation Department of the Year” award for 2024.
