Carbon Monoxide Death - Product Liability
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is the leading cause of fatal poisonings in the United States.  It takes only a few minutes of exposure for high concentrations of carbon monoxide to cause death. 

The majority of accidental carbon monoxide deaths happen in the winter.  In a recent case in Minnesota, a boiler was incorrectly installed in a new house.  When the new occupants moved in and turned on the boiler to heat the house, the boiler emitted high levels of carbon monoxide.  The family’s teenage son went to bed and was found dead the next morning. 

The above case involved a product that was defective because it was improperly installed.  Some cases of carbon monoxide death are caused by a product that is defective because of how it was designed or manufactured.

Carbon Monoxide Death - Premises Liability
Under the doctrine of premises liability, owners of property are held responsible for injuries sustained while on the property.  For example, if a landlord does not maintain a heating unit and the result is carbon monoxide poisoning, the landlord may be held liable.  Premises liability covers all property owner, not just landlords.  If your family member dies while at a summer camp, staying at a hotel, or staying at a friend's house, you have the right to seek redress for your loss.
