    Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Cases

    I recently represented a nice woman who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning due to a defective furnace in her apartment building.  She was home alone and later found unconscious by a neighbor.  After EMS took her to the hospital, the gas company was called and their testing found significantly high levels of carbon monoxide in the property.  The gas company inspector traced the carbon monoxide to a cracked heat exchanger in the furnace closet.  The apartment maintenance failed to inspect the unit at the beginning of the tenancy and never took any actions to repair the problem.   My client suffered memory loss and other problems as a result of her poisoning.

     Carbon monoxide injuries are often severe and can significant exposures can result in death.  Many times, these poisonings are due to negligent maintenance of heating units and furnaces in a residential property. It is important to have a carbon monoxide monitor in your home and to have your furnace regularly serviced.  If you are renting or leasing a property, your landlord should have annual maintenance performed on your furnace.  The failure to do so may result in a civil lawsuit for damages if a tenant suffers carbon monoxide poisoning due to negligent maintenance.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
