Property owners and landlords must install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors, ensure proper ventilation, and address gas leaks immediately. When they fail, people get hurt. The consequences are catastrophic and life-altering. Gas leaks can also lead to fire and explosion injuries. We’re here to help.
If you or a loved one suffered carbon monoxide poisoning or gas leak injuries due to negligence by a property owner, landlord, or equipment manufacturer, you deserve significant compensation for medical treatment, ongoing care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty appliance?
Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, shortness of breath, and loss of consciousness. Severe or prolonged exposure can cause permanent brain damage, organ failure, and death. If you suspect CO poisoning, leave the building immediately and call 911.
Who is liable for carbon monoxide poisoning in a Los Angeles rental property?
Landlords are legally required to install CO detectors and maintain gas appliances, furnaces, and water heaters in safe working condition. If a faulty appliance caused your poisoning, the landlord or property manager may be liable for your injuries.
How long do I have to file a carbon monoxide poisoning lawsuit in California?
Generally two years from the date of injury or the date you discovered the injury was caused by CO exposure. Early action is critical — evidence from faulty appliances can be repaired or replaced quickly.

You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, future care costs for long-term neurological effects, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Families who lost a loved one to CO poisoning may also pursue a wrongful death claim.
