Claims for Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon Monoxide gas can be dangerous and is produced by the partial burning of fuels such as oil, coal, gas, and even wood.
As fuels burn, they use up the oxygen from the air around them and convert that oxygen into carbon dioxide. As the carbon dioxide builds up it can prevent the fuels from fully burning and at that stage carbon monoxide is released into the air. The gas does occur naturally in some appliances such as gas boilers, but the appliances are designed so that the gas is disposed of safely into the atmosphere.
Carbon Monoxide is colourless and odourless and therefore you wouldn't be aware of its presence until you started experiencing the effects of inhaling it. That's why carbon monoxide is commonly called the 'The Silent Killer'.
When someone has inhaled an unsafe quantity of carbon monoxide, they will suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. The gas has the effect of decreasing the amount of oxygen in the blood and this can contributes to an acute hypoxic injury.
If you have experienced this type of poisoning and you were not responsible for the accident, you may have the basis for a claim for compensation. Claims Justice are experts in this field thanks to their No Win No Fee policy. You're also guaranteed to receive 100% of any compensation awarded.
The symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning depend on the amount of gas in the room and length of time it has been inhaled.
Symptoms of mild Carbon monoxide poisoning: Flu-like symptoms: Headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
Symptoms of moderate Carbon monoxide poisoning: Rapid heart beat, chest pain, blurred vision, shortness of breath, difficulty thinking and unsteadiness.
Symptoms of severe Carbon monoxide poisoning: Seizures, coma, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, damage to the heart muscle, disorientation and death.
Carbon Monoxide accidents
Carbon Monoxide is frequently found in industrial processes, mines and garages. It could also be found in any location which is heated by a defective boiler or gas fire. So there can carbon monoxide risks in offices, hotels and indeed, any commercial area which is heated and of course, your home.
If there's a possibility of exposure in your workplace, it is your employers' responsibility to ensure that all the appliances are regularly checked and maintained. They may even have to install a carbon monoxide detector. After all they have a duty to ensure that your working environment is safe.
The same principles also apply to buildings open to the public such as public houses and cinemas and rented accommodation. The owners of these building have the responsibility to ensure that they are safe environments.
So you could make a claim if you have been affected by carbon monoxide poisoning whilst working in or visiting a building, or living in rented premises.
