Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide, as mentioned above, is considered a silent killer. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can cause a variety of symptoms in victims. Unfortunately, many victims do not address their symptoms immediately; therefore, they suffer permanent brain damage or lose their lives. At levels as low as 100ppm, carbon monoxide can cause symptoms. If the levels of carbon monoxide reach 700ppm, victims can lose their lives. Some symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include the following: headache, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, irregular heartbeat, and vision problems. When not immediately addressed, symptoms can worsen, and victims might suffer the loss of consciousness, seizure, and coma. But how are victims exposed to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide? Dangerous levels of the deadly gas can be produced from a number of items usually found in or near homes. A few examples include stoves, ovens, furnaces, clothes dryers, heating units, grills, chimneys, fireplaces, and vehicles. If the items on the list are properly maintained, the carbon monoxide they produce should not reach dangerous levels. However, when these items have carbon monoxide leaks, enclosed places could become death traps. In places without the proper ventilation, carbon monoxide can quickly concentrate and reach dangerous levels. If you or a loved one were affected by carbon monoxide poisoning, you might be able to file a lawsuit and receive compensation.
Liability for Carbon Monoxide
Who is liable for your carbon monoxide poisoning? As mentioned above, carbon monoxide poisoning is usually caused by items often found in or near homes. Who could be liable? Unfortunately, many victims of carbon monoxide poisoning blame themselves. They believe that they could have done something to prevent their symptoms and exposure to carbon monoxide poisoning. Although they are many things that people could do to decrease their risk of suffering carbon monoxide poisoning, many victims of carbon monoxide poisoning become victims through no fault of their own. They suffer carbon monoxide poisoning as a direct result of the negligent actions of a party. Who could be liable for your carbon monoxide poisoning? Many parties’ negligent actions could result in carbon monoxide poisoning. These parties could include landlords, property owners, service companies, installation technicians, builders, and contractors, for example. These parties might have had some duty towards the victim; when the victim suffers carbon monoxide poisoning, they could be found liable.

The Statute of Limitations for Your Claim

A statute of limitations is a timeline that applies to all claims establishing the total length of time that plaintiffs have to file their lawsuits. If their lawsuits are not filed within the deadline, they lose their right to sue. Victims of carbon monoxide poisoning are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Those affected by carbon monoxide poisoning—including the family members of deceased victims—have two years to file their claims. Although the statute of limitations is a strict timeline, some exceptions to the statute might apply. These exceptions might toll or extend the statute of limitations based on the details of your claim.
