Legionnaires' Disease Lawyer

Five guests and one employee of the Springhill Suites Austin Round Rock hotel in Williamson County, Texas, have been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease. The earliest cases were reported to the State Department of Health Services on September 29, 2017.

The hotel has enlisted the help of a third-party firm in attempt to identify any possible source of Legionella bacteria and eliminate it from the property. The first three cases all reported being in or around the hot tub at the hotel, as well as the employee who had access to that area of the property. The hotel opted to close its doors to guests on October 4, 2017 until the remediation efforts are deemed complete. This time period is expected to be about 3 weeks in length, and the hotel hopes to reopen October 24, 2017, should it gain approval to do so from the Health Department.

Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia caused by exposure to Legionella bacteria. Symptoms of Legionnaires’ disease include coughing, vomiting, nausea, confusion, and lethargy.
