Hotel Patrons, Tenants Possible Victims of Legionnaires’ Disease


Few Dallas residents have heard of Legionnaires’ Disease, a potentially fatal bacteria spread through airborne water particles. However, for guests and tenants of the SuperMedia Hotel and Conference Center near D/FW Airport, they are getting a crash course in this potentially catastrophic disease.

Earlier this week, a woman staying at the SuperMedia was diagnosed with Legionnaires’ Disease, prompting hotel guests to relocate and commercial tenants such as Verizon and Superpages to temporarily vacate their office space. With symptoms like fever, chills, muscle aches, and fatigue, it’s easy to confuse Legionnaires’ Disease with pneumonia. Of course, the end result of these two diseases is far different for many victims.

Under Texas law, commercial premises must be safe for commercial guests and tenants. Unfortunately, the reality is that too many landlords fail to maintain safe premises, and, as a result, customers and lessees are injured or suffer property damage. Are you concerned that the store in which you work might have violated a city ordinance? Have you noticed unkempt premises putting your customers at risk? If you’ve been injured or suffered loss at your workplace premises, you may have a valid complaint. Find out whether the attorneys and professionals at Fears | Nachawati can help you.
