| | GLK Successfully Litigates Two Legionnaire’s Disease Lawsuits Resulting in Death - NYC Outbreak Update
|
| | The recent and largest outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in New York, more specifically in the Bronx community, has raised serious concerns about the dangers of this illness. Even though this disease is not spread from person to person and is only contracted by breathing in water vapor containing the Legionella bacteria, it is still frightening many New Yorkers.
Our firm has successfully represented two families who tragically lost loved ones due to exposure to the Legionella bacteria. While we were able to reach confidential settlements for those families, it will never make them whole again.
In order to successfully file a lawsuit against entity alleged to be responsible for the outbreak of the Legionnaire’s disease, you must prove the following elements: - You were exposed to the Legionella bacteria that causes the disease
- The exposure occurred at the premises you are filing a suit against
- The exposure resulted from the negligence of the owner or operator of the premises
- The exposure resulted in a confirmed diagnosis of Legionnaire’s disease
