Considered a silent killer, exposure of carbon monoxide is fatal, and can destroy the lives every year of thousands of individuals in the United States.

Inhalation of the noxious gas attributes to many deleterious injuries, and tragic deaths.

The toxic gas is a byproduct of gas, wood, paper, kerosene, and other organic components.

All vehicles which burn fuel include boats, trucks, automobiles, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. They can generate carbon monoxide gas, as well as fireplaces, pool heaters, and wood stoves.

Cooking appliances which produce heat by burning fuel can create a vast amount of carbon monoxide gas.

Operating devices which burn fuel improperly result in dangerous levels of concentrates in carbon monoxide.

Fatal carbon monoxide poisoning, each year, result in over 5,000 individuals in the United States dying, with double the amount of people injured by the gas’ exposure.

This includes builder, gas company, air conditioning and heating company, product manufacturer, and property owner.

Surviving members of the family could receive funds for the following: lost wages; suffering and pain; burial and funeral expenses; death and associated medical expenses; cost of care related to the deceased; loss of likely future inheritance, benefits, and earnings; mental anxiety and emotional distress; consortium and loss of companionship; and other damages.

Adherence to the doctrines of laws related to premises liability, owners of property can be at-fault legally for any sustained injury by an invitee, occupant, or visitor on the property.

If the property owner, for example, neglects to maintain the heating system of the structure which results in carbon monoxide poisoning, this can result in him or her being held liable legally.

Surviving members of a loved one who died from carbon monoxide fumes at a hotel, summer camp, a neighbor’s house, or another location may have the legal entitlement to acquire redress for losses and damages.

If the heating unit which burns fuel is found defective, the product installer or manufacturer may be found liable legally for injuries, damages, and losses.

There may be a design defect, malfunctioning, or manufacturing flaw in the product because of improper installation.

More than one party may be found legally liable for a loved one getting killed.

If the carbon monoxide exposure, however, could’ve been prevented, there may be wrongful death rights for the family to receive full compensation.
