Types of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Claims in Austin

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, common in many households, that causes hundreds of deaths each year. As a material that has no odor or color, humans are incapable of detecting it by sense alone. It is for this reason that carbon monoxide is so dangerous.

Even in the cases where carbon monoxide poisoning is not fatal, it still causes incredible suffering for victims. If you or someone close to you has been exposed to a carbon monoxide leak then the Austin law firm of Carabin Shaw will help you to resolve your claim and other legal matters related to your exposure.

Austin counts itself among the most rapidly growing cities in the United States. From 2022 to 2022 alone, the number of Austin citizens increased by nearly 60,000 people. New apartment complexes and living spaces are being constructed at a breakneck pace. As homes are some of the most common sites of carbon monoxide poisoning, this presents numerous dangerous scenarios in which residents of the city may be exposed to a carbon monoxide leak.

Carbon monoxide exposure can cause serious and long-term harm to a victim. Austin personal injury lawyers at Carabin Shaw have supported Texas communities for over thirty years and are ready to help you fight for the justice you are due. After extended exposure to carbon dioxide, you may be facing lost work hours, expensive medical bills, as well as other financial and health struggles. Attorneys at Carabin Shaw will guarantee that you have the time necessary to focus on what matters most; your recovery.

Types of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Claims

Carbon monoxide forms as a result of partially or improperly burned fuel in various household appliances. While this means that carbon monoxide poisoning can occur anywhere that these appliances are, it also means that homes and workplaces are the most common sites of a leak. With so many appliances, however, there are various forms that a claim can take insofar as liability and fault.

Faulty Products

If your carbon monoxide exposure was caused by a malfunctioning or faulty appliance, then the manufacturer may be at fault for your damages. Ensuring that a product is safe for household use is the responsibility of the manufacturer and, on occasion, the retailer.

If you live in a rental property, then liability for that faulty equipment may fall on the landlord.

Lack of Detection

It is the legal duty of a landlord to ensure that each living space is equipped with a functioning carbon monoxide detector in Austin. If your detector has not been maintained, resulting in your exposure and injuries, the landlord may be found liable and our lawyers will help you to build your strongest case.
