San Francisco Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

What Can I Do If I Suffered Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Because of Someone Else’s Carelessness?

Parties that may be liable for harm include landlords, property managers, product manufacturers, and utility companies. The California Health and Safety Code lays out the legal requirements for certain facilities and individuals that owe such a duty of care. The San Francisco Fire Code also explains requirements for carbon monoxide safety. Residential care facilities for elderly adults must have at least one carbon monoxide detector. Property owners and landlords of residential dwellings, hotels, and motels must have the devices in each unit. These detectors must be in good working order and maintained on a yearly basis. California school buildings must also have carbon monoxide detectors. 

Landlords and property managers are also usually responsible for the care and maintenance of the unit’s appliances, including the stoves and heating systems. Failure to do so is negligence. Utility and gas companies that are called upon to inspect these systems must take care to do so according to state and federal regulations. 

Finally, product manufacturers may be liable for faulty devices. These devices could include carbon monoxide detectors, gas stoves, gas connection lines, generators, or any other device meant to detect carbon monoxide or that produces carbon monoxide.

Do I Need a San Francisco Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Attorney?

You should seek legal assistance as soon as possible if you or someone you love were harmed by carbon monoxide because of someone else’s negligence. If you hope to recover the full amount of your damages, we strongly suggest that you hire a San Francisco carbon monoxide poisoning attorney. 

A carbon monoxide lawyer may be able to recover the following types of compensation for you if you were a victim of carbon monoxide poisoning:

• Medical expenses for the harm done and any future treatments you may need, including any associated costs like travel to appointments
• Past or future lost wages related to your injuries and recovery
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Possible punitive damages if the guilty party’s actions were especially egregious or reckless.

There is no average settlement amount that carbon monoxide poisoning victims can expect in San Francisco. Settlements depend heavily on the unique circumstances of each case. This is especially true if your case goes to trial, as the jury determines the value of non-monetary damages, e.g., loss of enjoyment of life or pain and suffering. Your carbon monoxide attorney can help you determine an approximate amount of what you should expect to recover.
