The Short-Term and Life-Long Dangers of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious, life-threatening condition. It’s caused by breathing in carbon monoxide when fuel burns incompletely. CO can be produced from various sources including fires, car exhaust and faulty furnaces or water heaters.

Carbon monoxide poisoning has been known for decades and is a very common cause of death in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are approximately 40,000 cases annually with more than 500 directly attributed deaths per year — that doesn’t include indirect fatalities such as heart attack and stroke that may be linked back to carbon monoxide exposure.

Carbon monoxide exposure also causes long-term health problems such as brain damage, heart damage and cancer among other diseases affecting multiple organ systems throughout your body.

Carbon monoxide poisoning in Houston can be a deadly threat to anyone, anywhere. If you believe that a defective device or appliance, poor upkeep, or careless detector monitoring caused you or a member of your family to become poisoned by carbon monoxide, speak with a lawyer right away to discuss your legal options.

Landlords and Business Owners Can be Held Liable for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

If a landlord or business owner fails to take steps to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, they may face legal action from the family or friends of a victim whose death was caused by CO exposure in their rental unit.

It is important for landlords to have carbon monoxide detectors in all buildings where tenants live. These detectors can be battery powered or wired into the building's electrical system, and they must be tested monthly to ensure that they are working properly. Additionally, landlords should provide renters with information on how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and what symptoms to look out for if you suspect an issue.

Landlords should also ensure that any work done on appliances or furnaces is performed by qualified professionals who know how not only fix issues but also make sure they don't arise in the future.
