MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pritzker Hageman, a national law firm with a dedicated Legionnaires' disease legal team, is investigating a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in Marshalltown, Iowa, where state health officials have confirmed at least 30 cases and one death.

Marshalltown Legionnaires' Disease Outbreak: Investigating the Source

Legionnaires' disease is a severe and potentially fatal form of pneumonia caused by inhaling water vapor contaminated with Legionella bacteria. Legionnaires' disease outbreaks often occur when building water systems are not properly maintained.

"These illnesses are preventable," said attorney Eric Hageman, who leads Pritzker Hageman's national Legionnaires' disease legal team. "When someone gets sick or dies from Legionnaires' disease, it almost always means a water system was not being managed safely. Our firm has investigated outbreaks across the country, and our job is to uncover what went wrong and hold those responsible accountable."

Protecting the Legal Rights of Legionnaires' Disease Victims

People diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease in outbreaks like the one in Marshalltown may be entitled to compensation through a Legionnaires' disease lawsuit for damages such as:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful death

Those most at risk include older adults, smokers, and individuals with chronic health conditions. Anyone who has developed pneumonia-like symptoms after spending time in the Marshalltown area should seek medical care immediately and consult an experienced Legionnaires' disease lawyer about their legal rights.
