There are important requirements regarding the timing of a wrongful death action, so it is vital to contact Siegel Brill as soon as possible after the death of a loved one.

Most cases of Legionnaires’ disease are caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila. People contract the disease by breathing aerosolized water containing the bacteria from water systems including commercial central air conditioning systems, cooling towers used in large water systems, mist sprayers in grocery stores and restaurants, hot water systems in commercial buildings, ice making machines and similar types of equipment that use the public water supply. When not treated effectively and promptly, Legionnaires' Disease can lead to a number of life-threatening complications and may be fatal, especially for people whose immune system is weakened by disease or medications.

Injuries sustained from Legionnaires’ Disease can include severe and permanent lung damage. It has been known to cause other organ damage as well. Property owners who have not taken the correct precautions and have been found to have the bacterium in their water supply may be liable for money damages caused by the bacterial illness.
