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 cases aren’t examined or diagnosed until it is too late.

There are health and safety laws to protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning.  But faulty or defective equipment mean it can still happen at work, home or even on holiday.  If you think you have suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, you may be able to claim compensation.  

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

Mild poisoning can cause shortness of breath, nausea or dizziness.  In the long term it can cause problems affecting your everyday life.  But unfortunately not all doctors know the symptoms or likelihood of carbon monoxide poisoning. 

Some people have felt ill for moths or even years and not known why.  In some cases people have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome or multiple sclerosis and discharged from hospital 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.
