Carbon monoxide why experts are a must.

Carbon monoxide is the most poisonous substance that you are likely to come into contact with in your daily life and you may not even know that is has happened. The shocking truth is that even if you do, the medics that you seek help from, may not have a clue what to do. We have dealt with many cases that have been exacerbated by the failure of the Dr. To either diagnose or seek the best first aid treatment for the victim. Immediately after an event the best course of action is often hyperbaric oxygen but if this does not happen within the first couple of hours the damage may have been done and further treatment not possible. Carbon monoxide is one of the most misdiagnosed ailments that you are likely to suffer from as exposure will often mimic other illnesses such as flu or stomach problems. The medical community is not well enough informed about the dangers of carbon monoxide and can leave people damaged through lack of correct medical attention.

The next problem is that if the only recourse that is open to you is a legal remedy you will find it very difficult to get a lawyer who understands your issue. If the medical staff that you have encountered know little of the problem then most lawyers are equally unversed in the subject. Most lawyers know that there is an issue with CO (carbon monoxide) but they will also treat a victim like a standard car crash incident. We have tested many lawyers understanding of the subject and its often woefully inadequate at best. At worst because of the lack of understanding the victim may be treated like a malingerer or paranoid. If you look at the web sites of many law firms they will tell you that they cover all types of injury claims from a simple trip and fall through to complex claims. 

If you don't get the experts involved then things will go from bad to worse. A professional lawyer who has studied the subject and who understands the on going issues, will understand that the reason that you present with what may seem unexplained problems is due to the carbon monoxide incident. They will also know the terms that the specialist neuropsychologist, hyperbaric Dr's or toxicologists use, they will be able to interpret the findings to present your case for you. In essence not only will a specialist lawyer make sure that your claim is won but that the damages that are awarded take into consideration the issues that you may be left with, often indefinitely.

In conclusion get the right medical help as soon as you can which can be difficult. In the event that you have not been properly diagnosed get a specialist lawyer —don't go to Attorney Joe Schmo on the corner of your High Street he may be as bad as the doctors.
