Exposed to Carbon Monoxide (CO)?

When property owners, landlords, hotels, or manufacturers fail to protect you from this invisible danger, the consequences can be catastrophic. If you suffered CO poisoning or lost a loved one due to exposure, you may be entitled to compensation.

What causes carbon monoxide poisoning?
Carbon monoxide poisoning happens when fuel-burning devices or engines leak CO into enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Common sources include faulty furnaces, hot water heaters, boilers, gas stoves, fireplaces, vehicles left running in garages, and portable generators. When ventilation fails or equipment is improperly installed, maintained, or monitored, dangerous levels of CO can build up quickly, often without warning.
How do I prove carbon monoxide poisoning?
Proving carbon monoxide poisoning typically involves a combination of medical and environmental evidence. Medical records showing elevated Carboxyhemoglobin levels in your blood are key, along with documentation of symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, confusion, or neurological issues. Your legal team may also use maintenance logs, appliance service records, carbon monoxide detector reports, ventilation assessments, and expert inspections of the property or equipment involved.
Together, this evidence helps link your medical condition to the source of exposure and establish negligence, whether it's a landlord who ignored safety requirements, a business that failed to maintain equipment, or a manufacturer with a defective product.
Who can be held liable?
Liability in carbon monoxide poisoning cases can be attributed to several parties, depending on the circumstances of the exposure. Property owners and companies have a duty to maintain safe premises and equipment, and when they cut corners or ignore safety requirements, the consequences can be life-altering.
Those who may be held responsible include:
- Landlords and property managers who fail to maintain heating systems or provide working CO detectors
- Hotels, motels, and vacation rentals that expose guests to faulty appliances or poor ventilation
- Employers who negligently expose workers to CO-producing equipment or confined spaces
- HVAC installers and technicians who improperly install or service heating units and hot water heaters
- Appliance or equipment manufacturers whose defective products leak carbon monoxide
- Builders or general contractors who violate safety or ventilation standards during construction
- Maintenance companies that perform negligent or inadequate repairs
In some cases, multiple parties may share responsibility. Our legal team investigates every angle, from maintenance records to product defects, to identify who failed to protect you and hold them accountable.
Can I file if a loved one died from CO exposure?
Yes. If a family member lost their life due to preventable carbon monoxide exposure, you may have the right to file a wrongful death claim. These cases can help families seek compensation for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost financial support, and the emotional impact of losing a loved one.
Holding the responsible parties accountable can also help prevent similar tragedies from happening to others. Our team handles these cases with care, sensitivity, and determination, and we’ll stand with you every step of the way.
