Over 100,000 U.S. citizens require emergency room treatment for carbon monoxide exposure each year, with over 400 of those visits resulting in loss of life. In Oklahoma, faulty manufacturing in appliances is a leading cause of these unintentional injuries and deaths. If you or a loved one has been injured, or lost their life, due to carbon monoxide exposure, and an appliance was the source of that exposure, Carabin Shaw’s carbon monoxide poisoning lawyers in Oklahoma can help you to fight for the compensation that you are owed.
So What Is Carbon Monoxide?Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas generated from the impartial burning of fuels. This can include fuel from wood, charcoal, coal, and natural gas. Any open flame or engine has the potential to emit carbon monoxide gas. Also called the “silent killer,” carbon monoxide exposure causes fatigue, nausea, fainting, and brain damage.
Because of this substance’s undetectable nature, it is often only identified as the cause of injuries after those injuries have occurred, and after significant physical and financial harm has taken place. Working with the expert Oklahoma attorneys at Carabin Shaw guarantees that you and your loved ones will receive that maximum compensation that you deserve, and need, after exposure to this deadly gas.
Gasoline-Power Boat Engine Kills Oklahoma BoyIn February of 2023, a 9-year old boy in Oklahoma was killed by carbon monoxide exposure from a boat’s on-board engine and generators. While this has driven new legislation to protect those injured by carbon monoxide in the future, it does little to support those who suffer from such injuries now. Often, such legislation works to protect the manufacturers of these appliances from legal fault, as opposed to the individuals harmed by their faulty machinery.
