GM Legionnaires Disease Lawsuit
GM Legionnaires Disease Lawsuit
If you or a family member developed Legionnaires disease after exposure at a General Motors (GM) facility, you may have the basis for a GM Legionnaires disease lawsuit. The Oliver Bell Group represents victims who suffered serious injury or loss from Legionella exposure at workplaces, plants, dealerships, and corporate properties.
What happened at GM Warren facility
In September 2025, General Motors closed its Warren facility after two workers tested positive for Legionnaires disease (Detroit News). This outbreak highlights serious concerns about premises liability and whether GM properly maintained safe conditions on its property.
Legionnaires disease is a severe lung infection that develops after contact with Legionella bacteria. According to the CDC, the disease can spread when people inhale tiny droplets of contaminated water released from sources such as cooling towers, heating systems, and plumbing. When these systems are not properly monitored or maintained, facilities can become dangerous environments for workers.
The Warren GM plant may have contained the conditions that led to this outbreak, making a GM Legionnaires disease lawsuit a potential legal option for affected employees and families seeking accountability, justice, and compensation.
What is Legionnaires disease
According to the Mayo Clinic Legionnaires disease is a severe lung infection caused by Legionella bacteria. It often develops two to ten days after exposure.
Early symptoms include:
- Headache
- Muscle aches
- Fever that may be 104 Fahrenheit or 40 Celsius or higher
General Symptoms:
- Cough sometimes with mucus or blood
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Nausea vomiting and diarrhea
- Confusion or other mental changes
Legionnaires disease can be deadly if untreated especially for older adults, people with weakened immune systems, or those with chronic lung disease. If your illness can be linked to a GM property you may qualify for a GM legionnaires disease lawsuit.
