Santa Rosa Hotel Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

Santa Rosa is wine country, drawing in more than 60,000 people every year. Not everyone comes to the city just to visit St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, Matanzas Creek Winery, and the other outstanding wineries in the region, though. Santa Rosa is also home to the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, which honors the famed creator of the “Peanuts” cartoon. Regardless of the reason for a visit, not all of these trips end well. When people visit the city, they often stay at one of the fine hotels in the region. Many accidents can happen in a hotel, including carbon monoxide poisoning. If you or someone you love has become sick after staying at a hotel, it is important to know you may have a claim for damages. Our Santa Rosa hotel carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer can help you do it and will ensure you receive the full settlement you justly deserve.

Under state law, all property owners of dwellings, including hotels, have a legal duty to install carbon monoxide detectors into all units, and to make sure they are in proper working condition. Hotel owners do not always comply with this law. Sometimes, they fail to make sure proper installation of the devices has been done. Other times, they simply let the devices fall into disrepair, meaning they will not work, leaving anyone in the vicinity at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if there is a leak of this poisonous gas. When hotel owners have not fulfilled their legal duty, they can be considered negligent and be liable for paying damages.

Hotel owners can also only use carbon monoxide detectors that have been approved by the State Fire Marshal. These are the only devices that have been officially approved and so, making, selling, or using any other type of device is against the law. Any property owner who does not use an approved detector can also be found liable for paying compensation to injured individuals, with the help of an experienced hotel carbon monoxide poisoning attorney in Santa Rosa.

Hotel carbon monoxide happens in many different ways. A carbon monoxide detector may be defective and not detect a leak of the gas. In this case, the manufacturer could be held liable for creating and selling a faulty product. Or, hotel owners may not install detectors in every unit. Hotel owners may also fail to make sure that spaces that use combustible engines, which produce the toxin, are not properly ventilated. That could also cause guests to become exposed and suffer harm.

If you or someone you love has suffered from exposure, our Santa Rosa hotel carbon monoxide poisoning attorney at Brod Law Firm can help. Attorney Brod knows how to prove a hotel owner was negligent so you can claim the fair and just financial compensation you are entitled to.
