Oceanside Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

Sadly, tragic stories of carbon monoxide are not uncommon. Sometimes, this toxic gas takes the lives of entire families. If you or someone you love has suffered harm due to carbon monoxide, it may be possible to file a claim for compensation. Unfortunately, it is not easy to claim the full amount of damages you likely deserve. There are many challenges in these cases, and making even the smallest mistake could put any compensation you deserve at risk. Our Oceanside carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer knows how to overcome these challenges and will make sure mistakes are not made so you obtain the full settlement you deserve.

It is for good reason that carbon monoxide has become known as the silent killer. Carbon monoxide is not only extremely toxic, but it is also colorless, odorless, and tasteless. As such, people can become exposed to the gas and not even know it. Natural events such as forest fires and volcanic eruptions create carbon monoxide naturally, but these levels are usually relatively low. Internal combustible engines also create carbon monoxide and it is these that typically cause the most harm.

When a person is exposed to carbon monoxide, even for just a short time, they can experience some of the most serious symptoms. In the most tragic of cases, exposure to carbon monoxide is fatal.

Many of the symptoms caused by carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu, and people sometimes do not give them the proper attention they need. Carbon monoxide poisoning has many common symptoms, and they are as follows:

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

After experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is critical to obtain medical treatment right away. Without medical treatment, you might experience seizures, fall into a coma, and possibly not even survive the exposure.

Determining who is liable for carbon monoxide poisoning will largely depend on where the exposure occurred. If you or a loved one suffered from exposure while staying at a motel, hotel, or AirBnB, the owner of the property is likely liable. If you were exposed to carbon monoxide at home and you had a detector installed, but it was defective, you can file a claim against the manufacturer. Still, it can be challenging to determine who is liable for carbon monoxide poisoning, and it is critical to speak to a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Attorney in Oceanside who can determine who is to blame.
