Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas which causes hundreds of injuries and deaths in the UK each year. Many of these carbon monoxide poisoning cases aren't examined until it is too late.

There are laws to protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning, but faulty or defective equipment mean it can still happen at work, home or on holiday. If you think you have suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, you may be able to claim compensation with the help of My Accident Solicitor and our Personal Injury claims team.

Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Mild poisoning can cause shortness of breath, nausea or dizziness. In the long term carbon monoxide poisoning can cause problems affecting your everyday life.

Some people have felt ill for months or even years and not known why. In some cases carbon monoxide poisoning has been wrongly diagnosed and patients have been discharged only to be poisoned again at home.

It has also been found that carbon monoxide can increase hearing loss caused by working in high levels of noise, meaning that carbon monoxide exposure can detrimentally affect your life in many ways.

If you have suffered an poisoning injury, minor or otherwise, you may be entitled to claim compensation if you were not to blame.
