What Is Legionnaires’ Disease?

Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by inhaling mist or vapor that contains Legionella bacteria. These bacteria thrive in warm, stagnant water found in:

• Cooling towers in HVAC systems
• Hot tubs and whirlpool spas
• Decorative fountains and misting systems
• Ice machines, showers, and public sinks
• Plumbing in hospitals, hotels, office buildings, and senior facilities

Legionella symptoms (2–10 days after exposure) may include:

• High fever, chills, and persistent cough
• Shortness of breath or chest pain
• Fatigue, nausea, muscle aches, or confusion

Those at greatest risk include seniors, smokers, and people with compromised immune systems.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

If your exposure occurred in Sacramento, the following parties may be responsible:

• Property Owners and Managers Liability: For failing to maintain safe water systems.
• Hospitals, Hotels & Care Facilities Liability: For inadequate monitoring or maintenance.
• Employers Liability: If the exposure happened on the job.
• Contractors & Maintenance Teams Liability: For negligence in managing HVAC or plumbing systems.
• Manufacturers Liability: If defective products contributed to the contamination.

California Legionnaires’ Disease Laws

Under California law, multiple legal claims may be available:

Negligence

Entities that manage water systems must take reasonable steps to prevent bacterial contamination. Failure to do so may be considered negligence.

Premises Liability

Owners of public or private properties may be held responsible for hazardous conditions, including Legionella exposure.

Product Liability

If a defective water system component contributed to the outbreak, the manufacturer may be strictly liable.

Statute of Limitations

In California, you generally have two years from the date of illness or discovery to file a personal injury claim (Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 335.1). Waiting longer may bar your claim.
