Laredo Carbon Monoxide Exposure Lawsuit Against Hotel

Every year, carbon monoxide poisoning causes the hospitalization of over 2,000 people in the United States alone. Carbon monoxide, also known as “the silent killer,” is a poisonous gas that is impossible for someone to detect without an adequate alarm system because carbon monoxide has no color, smell, or taste.

When you and your family stay at a hotel or motel in Laredo, Texas, you risk serious injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning because Texas law does not require hotels and motels to install carbon monoxide alarms in your room. In the worst circumstances, your vacation could turn into a tragedy.

When you are staying at a hotel or motel in Laredo, Texas, you need to know what carbon monoxide symptoms look like to keep you and your family safe. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause:

• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Confusion
• Headaches
• Vomiting
• Nausea
• Chest pains

Prolonged or concentrated exposure can result in losing consciousness or even death.

Any of these symptoms can indicate exposure to carbon monoxide, so the lawyers at Carabin Shaw encourage you to heed the warning signs and head to a hospital if you think you are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. If you have been exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning, contact Carabin Shaw to start filing your Laredo carbon monoxide exposure lawsuit against a hotel or motel.

Texas law does not require hotels or motels in any city, including Laredo, Texas, to place carbon monoxide detectors in guest rooms, which means that you can never be sure that the carbon monoxide levels are under control. At Carabin Shaw, we know that this means that you can never know if you’re safe.

The way carbon monoxide is measured is by how many particles exist per million air particles. The highest acceptable level is 9 PPM (parts per million). Any PPM number well over this threshold could be a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. At 400 PPM, your exposure becomes life-threatening within 3 hours. At 800 PPM, death, preceded by convulsions and nausea, can occur in as little as two hours.

If you or a loved one were subjected to elevated carbon monoxide levels and can show symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, the attorneys at Carabin Shaw believe that you may have a strong case against the motel or hotel in Laredo, Texas. Reaching any of these exposure levels may show negligence on the part of hotel owners, which means you are eligible for restitution. Our lawyers will fight for you in your Laredo carbon monoxide exposure lawsuit against a hotel or motel.

No one wants to think they could get carbon monoxide poisoning, but unfortunately, it happens more often than you might expect. If you or a loved one suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning in Laredo, Texas, Carabin Shaw’s Laredo injury lawyers are ready to represent you.
