Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, often produced by engines and fuel-burning appliances. If you fall victim to a CO leak, your early warning signs will be symptoms like headache, weakness, dizziness, blurred vision, or nausea. If you notice these symptoms, get to fresh air immediately, as symptoms of more advanced CO poisoning can include loss of consciousness and death. In the event of a deadly CO poisoning incident, the surviving family members of the deceased can work with an attorney to bring a wrongful death carbon monoxide lawsuit against liable parties.

All property owners owe a duty to guests on their premises to provide a reasonable level of safety. When they fail to meet that duty, their actions or inactions constitute negligence. When their negligence leads to injuries, they can be held financially liable for insurance claims and lawsuits. Failing to properly maintain CO detectors or allowing gas lines or appliances to degrade to the point of leaking CO are common examples of negligence by property owners. If you have fallen victim to a carbon monoxide leak in a hotel, restaurant, shopping center, rental property, or any other property you do not own, you should immediately contact a Houston premises liability lawyer to pursue justice for your injuries.

Working with a Houston CO poisoning attorney to sue liable parties for damages is the best way to win compensation for your carbon monoxide poisoning. Damages are the means used to determine how much compensation you can pursue in personal injury claims. They account for the financial impact as well as the emotional toll of your accident. Some common forms of damages you may be entitled to include:

• Reimbursement for medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Reimbursement of legal costs
• Wrongful death
• Punitive damages
