Due to its convenient position two hours from four major cities in Texas, Victoria has become a commuting hub and grown in population in the recent years. While the growth of a city is generally a good thing, it also comes with risks. Constant construction of new hotels and motels and the remodeling of old buildings and homes puts residents and tourists in Victoria at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning due to aging equipment and poor industry regulation.
If you or a loved one have been exposed to the gas in a hotel or motel in Victoria, Texas, and want to know who is responsible for your carbon monoxide poisoning, the lawyers at Carabin Shaw may be able to help.
Carbon monoxide poisoning has a variety of sources, including dryers, water heaters, furnaces, both wood and gas fireplaces, and more. The only way to detect the colorless, odorless gas is by installing a carbon monoxide detector in every room where people sleep.
By law, Texans must install these in their homes, and they must be installed in nursing homes and day-care centers. However, hotels and motels have no such regulation. This means that tourists, especially families travelling with the elderly or infants, are at a higher risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Those who are exposed to the gas while staying in a hotel or motel must determine the source of the carbon monoxide and the parties responsible in order to hold them accountable. If you or a loved one have been exposed to carbon monoxide in Victoria, Texas, the Victoria accident attorneys at Carabin Shaw can help you do this.
Due to the large number of possible parties at fault, — for instance, the manufacturing companies, installation companies or workers, hotel or motel management, or handymen — it can be difficult to determine who is responsible for your carbon monoxide poisoning.
