We know that you may have some initial questions regarding a hotel carbon monoxide poisoning in Houston, so we have provided some general information below.

There are many different potential sources of carbon monoxide poisoning in hotels. As large buildings serving many rooms, hotels provide a substantial amount of hot air and hot water. Furnaces that provide heating can malfunction and create a buildup of carbon monoxide, often affecting most those rooms directly near the furnace.

Water heaters, too, can leak carbon monoxide and can cause dangerous poisoning levels inside a customer’s room. These are two of the most common sources, but there are other sources as well depending on the specific hotel equipment, such as pool equipment or kitchen ovens.

Determining who can be held liable by a personal injury lawyer in Houston is dependent on the individual circumstances. A trained, neutral party will need to examine where the leak occurred and what exactly caused it. The parties that are most commonly held accountable by a Houston carbon monoxide poisoning attorney include:

Hotels themselves are responsible for making sure all their equipment is functioning properly. They are expected to constantly monitor their carbon monoxide levels and to have functioning carbon monoxide alarm systems. If they fail to meet this standard, an attorney may hold them liable for their negligence.

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) contractors are required to install all equipment correctly and safely. A faulty installation of a heat pump or some other equipment can result in a leak that can travel into customers’ rooms. HVAC contractors are expected to provide expert installation that the hotel and customers can trust.

All the equipment used by a hotel should be fully functional. If the parts of a boiler or exhaust flue malfunction unexpectedly, even if they have been installed by an HVAC contractor and monitored by hotel staff, the manufacturer could be held responsible for selling an unsafe product.
