Malibu Hotel Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

Malibu has 13, 000 residents but 13 million visitors travel to the area every year. These tourists often stay in the many wonderful hotels Malibu has to offer, such as the Ritz-Carlton, The Surfrider Hotel, and more. The vast majority of the time, these stays result in nothing other than good memories of a fantastic trip. Unfortunately, tragedies and hotel deaths do occur. Sometimes, these deaths are the result of carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a real threat in California, and throughout the rest of the country. California law requires property owners, including owners of hotels, to take certain measures to ensure everyone stays safe. Sadly, not everyone complies with these laws and when they refuse, the worst can happen. If you have been injured or have lost someone due to overexposure, our Malibu hotel carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer can help you claim the damages you deserve.

Many people do not realize just how common carbon monoxide poisoning is in hotels, or just how present this odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas is. Any time a combustible engine uses wood, oil, gas, charcoal, or kerosene, carbon monoxide is created. There are many different types of combustible engines within hotels, and some of the most commonly found are:

• Cooking ranges
• Wood-burning stoves
• Fireplaces
• Vehicles
• Furnaces
• Boilers
• Hot water heaters
• Charcoal and gas grills
• Room heaters
• Generators

There are a number of locations on the grounds of a hotel that contain the above machines, and just one hotel can contain hundreds of them. For example, if a hotel with 300 rooms has a stove in each room, that means there is a chance that 300 appliances could potentially cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Hotel owners are required to ensure there are carbon monoxide detectors in every dwelling, and that they are properly working. When hotel owners refuse to do this, they could be considered negligent and be held liable for their actions with the help of a hotel carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer in Malibu.

Anyone who is exposed to carbon monoxide, or that loses someone due to poisoning, and wishes to file a claim only has a certain amount of time to do so. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations and if you do not file your claim within this time, you will lose your right to claim any financial compensation at all. The statute of limitations on carbon monoxide claims is two years from the date of exposure, or the date the exposure was discovered. A Malibu hotel carbon monoxide poisoning attorney will file your claim on time and help you claim the full settlement you deserve.
