Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that can cause severe symptoms, permanent brain damage, and death. Carbon monoxide is released from many things often found in or near homes, such as stoves, ovens, grills, heating units, clothes dryers, and cars, for example. When the items on the list are not properly maintained, they might have carbon monoxide leaks. In enclosed spaces, carbon monoxide leaks can quickly replace the oxygen in the air and reach dangerous levels. According to experts, levels of carbon monoxide at less than 100ppm can cause concerning symptoms. Levels of 700ppm can be deadly. Those suffering carbon monoxide poisoning might experience many symptoms—some of which are often associated with the flu. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include the following: headaches, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. As the symptoms worsen, victims might experience respiratory problems, chest pain, cardiac arrest, loss of consciousness, and seizures. If you or a loved one were affected by carbon monoxide poisoning, you must seek legal assistance as soon as possible. Our law firm could help you if you were affected in Riverside, Corona, or Moreno Valley.
Liability for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Unfortunately, many people do not understand liability for carbon monoxide incidents. They believe that they suffered carbon monoxide poisoning by chance—or simply because of bad luck. However, carbon monoxide poisoning can almost always be connected to the negligent actions of a party. Let us consider the location in which suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common—the home. If you suffer carbon monoxide poisoning in your home, the following parties might have some liability: contractors, builders, service companies, landlords, property owners, and installation technicians, for example. If you hire a contractor to work on the ventilation in your apartment building, for example, the contractor has a responsibility to complete the work skillfully and efficiently. If tenants are found to have carbon monoxide poisoning connected to poor ventilation in the apartment building, the contractor might have some liability. Other examples include landlords who fail to take action. If tenants repeatedly ask the landlord to inspect the carbon monoxide detectors and the landlord ignores all requests, the landlord might be liable for any cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. For more information about establishing liability in your carbon monoxide poisoning claim, you should contact our law firm as soon as possible. Our carbon monoxide attorneys in Riverside will give you all the information you need to file your lawsuit and take action against the party liable for your carbon monoxide poisoning.
What Type of Claim Could Victims File?
If you were affected by carbon monoxide poisoning, you could file a lawsuit against the liable party. The type of lawsuit you file depends on the specific details of your claim. For example, if the negligent actions of a party resulted in the death of a member of your family, you might file a wrongful death claim. If the negligent actions of the liable party led to your symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, you might file a negligence claim. For more information on filing claims for wrongful death or negligence, you must contact our law firm. Our experienced carbon monoxide poisoning attorneys will explain what type of claim you should file.
Compensation Available
Although monetary compensation cannot erase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, you are entitled to receive compensation. If you file a carbon monoxide poisoning claim, you might receive various forms of compensation. The amount and types of compensation you might receive depend on the details of your claims; therefore, you must speak with our attorneys as soon as possible for a case evaluation. Many victims of carbon monoxide poisoning are eligible to recover the following forms of compensation:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial expenses

Statute of Limitations
If you are interested in filing a lawsuit after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning, you must contact our law firm as soon as possible. You must always act with urgency—as there is a strict timeline establishing the length of time you have to file your lawsuit. A statute of limitations is a deadline to sue; it allows plaintiffs a specific timeframe in which they must file their lawsuit. If their lawsuits are not filed within the statute of limitations, they might lose their right to sue. What statute of limitation applies to your carbon monoxide claim? Victims of carbon monoxide poisoning in Riverside, Corona, or Moreno Valley, for example, might have two-year statutes applying to their claims.
