Legionnaires' Disease Lawyer Investigates Peregrine Senior Living Legionella Outbreak

ALBANY, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Albany County Department of Health is investigating an outbreak of Legionella at the Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker. Since the discovery of Legionella bacteria in the facility's water, 20 people have been hospitalized and 10 people have tested positive for Legionnaires' disease.  Tragically, three people who tested positive for Legionellosis have died.

National Legionnaires' Disease Lawyer Jory Lange is investigating the Peregrine Senior Living Legionella outbreak.  "Many people don't realize that invisible water vapor from a shower or water faucet can carry deadly pathogens like Legionella, and can cause hospitalizations or worse," said attorney Jory Lange.  "Legionnaires' disease cases are on the rise.  Especially in New York. Especially in the summer."

"Legionnaires' disease is a very serious illness. Most people who get Legionnaires' disease will require hospitalization.  1 out of every 10 people who become sick with Legionnaires' disease will die. This is why ensuring outbreaks like this are prevented is critical," says attorney Jory Lange.

Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker is located at 345 Northern Boulevard Albany, NY 12204.
