Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Attorneys

Carbon monoxide is a gas that is odorless, colorless, noiseless, and can kill you. Carbon monoxide, also known as CO, is found in gas fumes such as cars, small engines, stoves, gas ranges, and furnaces. It can build up indoors, poisoning both animals and humans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 15,000 people seek medical treatment for accidental carbon monoxide poisoning every year. Tragically, another 500 will die from it each year.

If you became ill or lost a loved one because of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by someone’s negligence, you’re going to need an experienced lawyer to help you win your case.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Carbon monoxide is especially dangerous because it may go undetected. Often, victims do not know they have been exposed to carbon monoxide until they begin suffering with symptoms such as:

• A dull headache
• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Confusion
• Blurred vision
• Loss of consciousness

Because many of these symptoms are similar to the flu and other illnesses, victims will often delay seeking critical medical treatment and may lie down to rest and never wake up.

If you have been injured or poisoned by carbon monoxide gas, you will need urgent medical and legal help. You should immediately see your doctor or go to the closest emergency room. It is important to have a carbon monoxide detector and to make sure it is working properly. Treat carbon monoxide symptoms seriously and seek medical help right away.
