Carbon monoxide poisoning causes more than 20,000 emergency room visits and more than 400 deaths of Americans each year. Further, carbon monoxide poisoning has long-term effects on its victims.  

Physical effects include:  

• Brain damage

• Impaired motor function. 

Mental and psychological effects include:  

• Depression

Often, carbon monoxide poisoning is caused by another person’s negligence or carelessness.
