Albuquerque Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Injury Lawyers

Carbon monoxide kills 400 Americans a year and injures thousands more. The “silent killer,” carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, which means leaks may go undetected until it is tragically too late. If you or a loved one was injured by carbon monoxide exposure in Albuquerque, you may have legal grounds for a personal injury claim.

But who can be held liable for carbon monoxide exposure? And how should you choose the right carbon monoxide poisoning attorney in Albuquerque? If you’re looking for answers to these questions or directions on how to consult with personal injury attorneys serving Albuquerque, read on to learn more.

How Does Carbon Monoxide Get Inside Homes?

Carbon monoxide is the product of incomplete combustion and can be produced by any fuel burning appliance or by any fire source. Carbon monoxide leaks can occur when fuel burning appliances are malfunctioning, broken, improperly installed, or are not adequately maintained over time. Such appliances or machines include:

  • Gas stoves
  • Fireplaces (wood or gas burning)
  • Grills
  • Outdoor appliances such as lawnmowers
  • Cars idling in garages
  • Furnaces
  • Broilers
  • Water heaters
  • And more
Who May Be Liable After Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?

Carbon monoxide detectors are highly effective at detecting even slight levels of carbon monoxide in the air, and nearly all states require that these detectors must be installed in every residential building. Consequently, carbon monoxide exposure is highly preventable.

There are many potential parties who you might be able to hold liable after carbon monoxide exposure. These include:

  • The manufacturer of the appliance that leaked carbon monoxide into your home
  • Your landlord, who failed to repair or inspect defective appliances
  • Your landlord, who failed to install a working carbon monoxide detector in your apartment
  • The owner of the hotel where you stayed and breathed in carbon monoxide
  • Your employer, whose unsafe workplace caused your exposure to carbon monoxide gases
  • The designer or manufacturer of the carbon monoxide detector that did not alert you to CO
  • And more

If you are unsure whether any of the aforementioned parties may have led to your carbon monoxide exposure, the next step is to contact an attorney who specializes in carbon monoxide poisoning claims. They can investigate the circumstances surrounding your CO poisoning and help you determine whether you may have grounds for a negligence claim. But it’s important to choose the best possible legal representation for yourself so you have the best chances at winning your case.
