Case Details

Our office was retained to represent the estate of a loving husband/father who died after contracting Legionnaires’ disease while visiting the JW Marriott Hotel in downtown Chicago. Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by a bacterium known as Legionella. An investigation revealed the bacterium likely developed in a lobby fountain of the newly renovated hotel. We settled the claim for $1.75 million following two mediation sessions with representatives of the corporate defendant.
