Sacramento Hotel Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

As California's capital, there is a lot to see and do in Sacramento. The city offers an abundance of museums, parks, and tours, which is why 15 million people visit every year. While here, no one expects to become injured or worse, lose their life. Sadly, when property owners are negligent and do not ensure their premises are safe, people can become very hurt. Hotel owners have a responsibility to make sure all areas of their property are safe, including installing working carbon monoxide detectors in all rooms. Hotel owners must also test the detectors regularly to make sure they are in good condition. When property owners do not fulfill these duties, they can be held liable for paying financial compensation. Our Sacramento hotel carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer can help you claim the maximum settlement you deserve.

Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer because it is a gas that has no color, taste, or odor. Carbon monoxide is extremely poisonous and when it is inhaled by people, the blood cells can no longer carry a sufficient amount of oxygen throughout the body. Carbon monoxide will first cause damage to the heart and brain but eventually, all bodily organs will be affected.

Carbon monoxide poisoning in hotels is more common than people want to believe. This is due to the fact that the gas is produced any time a combustible engine uses oil, gas, wood, kerosene, or charcoal. Hotels use many different combustible engines on their properties and they can all cause significant harm. This is particularly true if a space is not well-vented or if carbon monoxide detectors are not working properly. The most common combustible engines on hotel properties include:

• Generators
• Room heaters
• Furnaces
• Hot water heaters
• Vehicles
• Boilers
• Gas and charcoal grills
• Fireplaces
• Cooking ranges
• Wood-burning stoves

Hotels often contain hundreds of these devices. For example, one hotel may include a fireplace in every room. Hotel owners must ensure that these devices work properly and that every room contains a carbon monoxide detector that can warn guests of exposure.
