Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious health risk that sends an average of 50,000 people to the hospital each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If one or more parties should have prevented you from suffering carbon monoxide poisoning – or prevented a loved one from a catastrophic injury or death due to exposure to this toxic gas – you may have grounds to file a lawsuit in Colorado.
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when an individual breathes in the toxic gas that is created from the incomplete or inefficient combustion of fuel. When a fuel-burning product – such as a furnace, space heater, water heater or motor vehicle – malfunctions, it can create carbon monoxide that gets emitted into the air. In an enclosed space or indoors, carbon monoxide can be inhaled in dangerous amounts and poison a victim.
When carbon monoxide enters the bloodstream, it binds to the hemoglobin in the blood, preventing the blood cells from carrying oxygen to the body’s organs. This can deprive the brain, heart and other parts of the body of enough oxygen to cause serious – and sometimes permanent – injuries. The warning signs of carbon monoxide poisoning may include confusion, dizziness, nausea, headache and loss of consciousness.
