Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Settlements:
The most important step in a carbon monoxide case is to determine who is liable for the injuries or deaths. This involves conducting a full investigation into how and why the carbon monoxide exposure took place and gathering evidence that links it to your injuries or the death of a loved one. A lawyer can collect medical records, eyewitness testimony and expert opinions to establish all the parties that may be liable for the accident.
People that can be exposed to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide include:
Homeowners that use gas heating systems or water heaters.
Workers who work with machinery that produces carbon monoxide such as car repair shops, forestry workers and construction sites.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that is produced by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and kerosene. It can also be produced by propane stoves, furnaces and generators. Inhaling carbon monoxide fumes can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including headache, fatigue, malaise (a general sick feeling), nausea and vomiting, numbness, unexplained vision problems and impaired memory and concentration. Very high levels of carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness, seizures and sudden death.
The severity of carbon monoxide poisoning depends on the level and length of exposure. Even moderate levels can result in brain damage and permanent breathing problems.
A successful carbon monoxide lawsuit can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income from missing work, as well as pain and suffering. If the carbon monoxide poisoning led to a loved one’s death, surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim for loss of companionship and funeral expenses.
It is often difficult to prove that a person has suffered carbon monoxide poisoning due to another’s negligence. An experienced lawyer can conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident and present evidence that shows a clear connection between the defendant’s breach of duty and your injury or the death of your loved one.
