More details to this question:
On April 9, 2017, I woke up with what I thought was an asthma attack. I contacted a neighbor and his fiance because I wasn't feeling well and I was scared. As soon as he came in, he sensed the gas and found the leak. He immediately took my dog and me out of there, drove me to the ER, and took care of giving my dog to my mom. It is important to note that my unit had no CO detectors nor fire detectors. I have the pics to prove it. They said I presented with symptoms of a heart attack and I was admitted. They ran the CO and hemoglobin test and it was high. The doc said to seek legal counsel. I am concerned and wonder if I have a case. Since then, I have been hoarse. Also, my hands are tingling and numb. I have never had that! I was exposed for over 24 hours. I will appreciate someone calling me and guiding me through this!

This will depend on the specific facts and the value of the damages claimed. This sounds like an apartment unit it and they are different from residential homes as they very rarely require such alarms. You wil need to retain a tenant/renters lawyer and possible an injury lawyer. As our office handles both, feel free to schedule a FREE office conference with us at 1-800-922-6442.
