The legal action claims the city neglected critical safety measures that could have prevented the spread of the deadly bacterial infection. Authorities have previously confirmed the outbreak, raising questions about whether proper inspections and maintenance protocols were followed. The lawsuit highlights broader concerns about accountability in managing public health risks in densely populated urban areas.
