Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, orderless gas, which is absorbed by the bloodstream, displacing the oxygen. Small amounts of CO exposure over time or large amounts in a very short amount of time can lead to brain damage or death.

Common Appliances that can Generate Carbon Monoxide Include:

  • Gas water heaters
  • Gas furnaces
  • High efficiency boilers
  • Kerosene space heaters
  • Charcoal grills
  • Propane heaters and stoves
  • Gasoline and diesel-powered generators and engines
  • Cigarette smoke
  • Boat engines
  • Spray paint, solvents, degreasers, and paint removers

Legal Claims Involving Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

In Minnesota, victims of carbon monoxide poisoning have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. This includes:

  • Medical Expenses: Coverage for current and future medical bills related to CO poisoning.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to inability to work.
  • Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain and emotional distress.
  • Wrongful Death: Compensation for families of those who have died due to CO poisoning, covering funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and more.

Our experienced Minneapolis attorneys can pursue legal claims to hold the responsible parties liable for your injuries and losses caused by their negligence. This includes:

  • Premises Liability Lawsuits: We hold property owners accountable when CO poisoning occurs in homes or commercial properties.
  • Product Liability Lawsuits: We address harm caused by defective products such as gas furnaces, stoves, and cars.
  • Personal Injury Lawsuits: We pursue claims against negligent installers of devices like furnaces, hot water heaters or gas dryers.
  • Wrongful Death Lawsuits: We represent the surviving family members of those who have died from carbon monoxide poisoning. While no amount of money can replace a life, the compensation can help move them forward. It also sends a clear message – the defendant’s actions or products are unsafe or unacceptable, and they will be held accountable for such.
