Causes of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is produced through combustion of fuel in:
- Running vehicles
- Gas-operated fireplaces
- Non-serviced heating systems
- Oil-burning furnaces
- Portable generators
- Charcoal grills
- Engine-running devices or vehicles
While devices that emit carbon monoxide are not usually dangerous, if they are used in a closed, or partially closed space, that limits circulation, they can be fatal. Most cases of over-exposure to carbon monoxide are accidental, but in some situations, it can be caused by another person’s negligence.
Our Palm Beach Gardens carbon monoxide lawyers can help you identify the at-fault party responsible for causing over-exposure to this deadly gas.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms
Those who have been affected by carbon monoxide poisoning are often unaware of their condition until it is too late. Dangerous exposure to carbon monoxide can be identified by the following symptoms:
- Dull headache
- Weakness
- Dizziness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Shortness of breath
- Confusion or disorientation
- Blurred vision
- Loss of consciousness
If you experienced any of these symptoms after being in a closed environment with a fume-emitting device, it is likely that you have suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. Although this condition can be very difficult to detect, victims often describe flu-like symptoms which can confuse doctors and lead to a misdiagnosis.
If you believe that you have suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, you should seek immediate medical attention if you have not already done so. Our Palm Beach Gardens carbon monoxide lawyers will be able to provide you with referrals for medical professionals and vital legal experience to advise you on how to form a case for carbon monoxide poisoning.
