Pritzker Hageman’s Legionnaires’ disease legal team is investigating multiple cases of Legionnaires’ disease that may be tied to the Quality Inn & Suites located at 6100 Iliff Road NW, Albuquerque, NM. This is an ongoing investigation and we are working to gather evidence connecting illnesses to a source at the property.
If you stayed at this hotel and later developed pneumonia symptoms or were diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Diagnosed with Legionnaires’ Disease?
What is Legionnaires’ disease and how can a hotel be involved?
Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria. People typically become sick after inhaling tiny droplets of contaminated water (mist or vapor). Hotels and other large buildings can pose a risk when water systems are not properly maintained.
Potential exposure sources at hotels can include:
- Showers and faucets
- Hot tubs and pools (and associated filtration systems)
- Decorative fountains
- Building plumbing systems (hot water tanks, heaters, and pipes)
- Cooling towers and HVAC components (in some situations)
Because guests may only be at a hotel for a short time, outbreaks can go unrecognized unless multiple cases are identified and investigated.
Symptoms: when to seek medical care
Legionnaires’ disease can start with flu-like symptoms and can become serious quickly. Many people require hospitalization. Symptoms often include:
- High fever and chills
- Cough (sometimes worsening over time)
- Shortness of breath
- Muscle aches, headache, fatigue
- Confusion (especially in older adults)
- Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea (in some cases)
Symptoms commonly appear 2 to 10 days after exposure, which means people may feel ill only after they have returned home from a trip.
If you believe you may have Legionnaires’ disease, seek medical care immediately. Tell your provider about recent travel and where you stayed, as that information can help guide testing and public health reporting.
Who is at greatest risk?
While anyone can become sick, the risk tends to be higher for:
- Adults age 50+
- People with chronic lung disease or other serious medical conditions
- Current or former smokers
- People with weakened immune systems
If you or a loved one falls into a higher-risk group and developed pneumonia after staying at the Quality Inn & Suites on Iliff Road NW, it’s especially important to explore whether Legionella exposure could be involved.
