Filing a Lawsuit After Exposure to Carbon Monoxide at Austin Hotel

It is no secret that Austin is one of the premier tourist destinations in Texas. The city’s vibrant live music and arts scene, culinary culture, and beautiful Hill Country paths and trails make it one of the most enriching and scenic cities to visit in the state.

Unfortunately, these crowds of visitors are subjected to a dangerous trend in the service and hospitality industry. Even though Texas laws do require a functioning carbon monoxide detector in day-care homes, nursing homes, and family residences, Texas statutes do not require that hotels maintain any specific form of carbon monoxide detection within their rooms.

Many locations do include such precautions of their own volition, but it is not enforced by the law. Each time you book a room at a hotel or motel in Austin, you put yourself and your loved ones at potential risk for carbon monoxide poisoning. Perhaps the most common source of carbon monoxide exposure in a hotel are those appliances that burn gas, (especially gas heaters), boilers, furnaces, and stoves.

The singular most dangerous aspect of carbon monoxide presence in the air is the fact that it is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, and therefore, impossible to detect until it is too late.

Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause a number of injuries and in some cases, even death.

The repercussions of carbon monoxide poisoning can take many forms. Some of the injuries or damages may not even be apparent for months or years. Thus, in the event of injury after carbon monoxide exposure at an Austin hotel, you should file a lawsuit and seek legal representation to protect your ability to live a full life.

Every tourist and hotel tenant still deserves a safe and wholesome environment for every day they pay for a room.
