A possibly fatal type of bacteria lives without detection in your water moving through plumbing, hot tubs and showers. It can cause a kind of pneumonia which has a death rate of a much as 50 percent of those infected. It can sound like a terrible nightmare, but many thousands of Americans, Legionnaires’ disease can be devastating reality.

But this does not have to happen to people like you. This particular illness which can be a threat to your life is actually preventable. Property owners basically chose to expose people like you to this disease. With Carabin Shaw’s help, you have choices of your own.

And don’t you want experienced Legionnaires’ disease lawyers in Texas like Carabin Shaw on your side when you do?

When you get exposed to this type of bacteria, Legionella, a type that thrives what it lives in warm humid water, you may well develop a very severe type of “atypical pneumonia.” The problem is that you don’t even have to actually drink the contaminated water to risk getting this serious and severe lung infection. If you just inhale tiny droplets of the bacteria when they are airborne this may well actually be sufficient to cause an infection. This especially true if you are a member of one of the groups at higher risk for the disease – if, for example, you have a history of using tobacco, have a chronic lung disease, have a compromised immune system, or are simply over age 50.

It is actually rare for many cases of Legionnaires’ disease to happen in a home water system. These specific bacteria multiply, and thrive, far more often in more complicated, usually larger water systems like those used in large buildings and other kinds of big structures. When you get infected by Legionella, you really need help from a Texas Legionnaire’s disease lawyer like those at Carabin Shaw.
