Ventura Hotel Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

Many visitors to Ventura like to take in the sights of the city and the surrounding areas. If you are coming to tour the Santa Barbara Vineyard, take surf lessons, or just take a drive down the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, you will likely stay in a hotel while here. The majority of the time, these hotels provide high quality service that keeps their guests comfortable and safe. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. People are hurt in hotels in a number of different accidents. One of these is carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal. Carbon monoxide poisoning kills more people than mass shootings and terrorism combined, making it the fourth-leading cause of death in the country. These deaths are tragic, particularly considering that carbon monoxide poisoning is entirely preventable. If you have become sick, or you have lost someone, our Ventura hotel carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer can help.

How Does Hotel Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Happen?

Carbon monoxide is an invisible and odorless gas, which is why it is nicknamed the silent killer. When a person is exposed to carbon monoxide, they may not even realize it until it is too late. Carbon monoxide is created by combustible engines that use wood, coal, oil, kerosene, or gas to run. The gas is found in many different areas of a hotel property, including:

  • Boat engines
  • Camping appliances, grills, heating units, pool heaters and camper appliances that burn fuel
  • Defective cooking appliances
  • Defective water heaters
  • Clogged chimneys
  • Defective clothes dryers that use gas to operate
  • Defective furnaces that burn wood, oil, coal, and gas
  • Clogged chimneys
  • Exhaust from idling engines
  • Tobacco smoke

To ensure that these commonly used items do not cause injury or death, state law has been enacted and all property owners are expected to comply with that law. If a property owner does not follow the law, they can be held accountable for their negligence with the help of a Ventura hotel carbon monoxide poisoning attorney.

What Is the Law on Carbon Monoxide Detectors in Ventura?

California legislators passed the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act in 2010. Under the law, any owner of a dwelling must install carbon monoxide detectors on the property and make sure the devices are regularly maintained so that they are always in good operating condition. The law applies to property owners of homes, apartments, condos, and hotels that use fuel-burning devices. Hotel owners must also ensure a working carbon monoxide detector is installed in each unit guests are in during their stay.
