Legionnaires' Patient Sues Ocean City Hotel

BALTIMORE (AP) - A man who was treated for Legionnaires' disease after an outbreak at an Ocean City hotel last year is suing the innkeeper for $6 million.

Pat Dent filed suit against Plim Plaza Hotel Wednesday in federal court in Baltimore. He and his wife are seeking $5 million in compensatory damages and $1 million for loss of consortium.

Health officials said six cases of Legionnaires' disease, including a fatal case, were confirmed in people who had stayed at the hotel.

Um, the guy got freaking Legionnaires' disease. I don't know if I would call this "greedying" up. I would rather be healthy than have $6 Million and Legionnaires...

That's the partnership of the Harrison brothers -- Hale & John -- being sued, isn't it?
