Carbon Monoxide Lawyer Needs to Understand Chemistry and Brain Damage

When choosing an attorney for a carbon monoxide lawsuit, it is important that the lawyer not only understand brain injury, but understand the unique characteristics of the liability and causation facts in a carbon monoxide case. A carbon monoxide lawyer must understand the chemistry of carbon monoxide. Your lawyer must understand the principles of HVAC maintenance and negative pressure. A carbon monoxide lawyer must understand the proving causation, including the relationship between COHb levels and outcomes. Ask the lawyer you are considering in a carbon monoxide case to explain COHb half lives. If they hem and haw, they need to associate someone else or you should call a carbon monoxide attorney directly.

Carbon Monoxide Lawyer Needs to Understand Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging is an important element to proving causation in a carbon monoxide case. Does the lawyer you are considering understand the nature of the pathology that a state of the art MRI is likely to find in a carbon monoxide survivor? If the word hippocampus does not show up in that explanation, then you are not talking to a carbon monoxide attorney.
