Too many people have suffered the tragic effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. There have been cases when this toxic gas has taken the lives of entire families. If you or a loved one has become sick, or worse, due to carbon monoxide poisoning, you may have the right to file a claim for compensation. Unfortunately, claiming the full amount of damages you and your family deserve is not easy. There are many challenges related to carbon monoxide claims. Even the smallest mistake could place the compensation you deserve in jeopardy. Our Napa carbon monoxide lawyer can guide you through the process to ensure no mistakes are made and so you obtain the fair settlement you deserve.

Carbon monoxide has earned its nickname of the ‘silent killer.’ This poisonous gas is colorless, tasteless, and odorless. Due to this, people can become exposed to it and not even realize it. Natural events such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires can create carbon monoxide, but the levels are usually fairly low. Carbon monoxide causes the most harm when it is created by an internal combustion engine. Wood stoves, car engines, generators, and other devices can all create carbon monoxide, which results in poisoning.

Being exposed to carbon monoxide even for just a short period of time can be very dangerous. Carbon monoxide poisoning has a number of symptoms that result in high medical bills and prevent people from returning to work. In the most tragic of cases, carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal.

Carbon monoxide poisoning causes symptoms that are very similar to the flu. Due to this, people often do not seek treatment, and their symptoms become worse. Some of the most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

• Upset stomach
• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Vomiting
• Chest pains
• Headaches
• Loss of consciousness
• Confusion
• Clumsiness
• Personality changes
• Irregular heartbeat
• Mood swings
• Vision problems

If you have experienced any of the above symptoms, seeking medical treatment as soon as possible is critical for your health. Without medical treatment, you may suffer from seizures or fall into a coma. In the worst of cases, people who do not seek medical treatment may not survive the exposure.

Determining liability for carbon monoxide poisoning largely depends on where a person was exposed. A carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer in Napa can help. If you or someone you love has been exposed in a hotel, motel, or Airbnb, the property owner is likely liable. This is particularly likely if the owner did not install proper carbon monoxide detectors. If you or a loved one was exposed at home due to a defective carbon monoxide detector, the manufacturer may be liable.
