Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawsuits
Chicago Injury Attorneys Fighting for You & For Change
The invention of keyless vehicles that can be remotely started with the simple push of a button has proven to be a serious health hazard. Unlike an ignition with a traditional key, keyless ignitions have upended the relationship between the driver and the vehicle. If someone accidentally starts their keyless vehicle while it is parked in their garage and they are in their home, the vehicle may leak lethal levels of carbon monoxide into the residence. Across the country throughout the last decade, there have been many reports of hospitalizations and deaths caused by these exact circumstances.
At McNabola & Associates, LLC, our Chicago personal injury and product liability lawyers have represented clients who lost loved ones due to defectively designed keyless vehicles. We are not afraid to go up against major automakers when it means fighting for fair compensation and a safer future for American families everywhere.

Potential Household Sources of Carbon Monoxide Exposure
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are around 400 deaths, 4,000 hospitalizations, and 20,000 emergency room visits each year in America due to unintentional carbon monoxide poisonings. As dangerous as they are, keyless vehicles are not the source of the majority of these incidents. There are many other products in homes that can leak dangerous carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide may escape from defective:
- Fireplaces and chimneys
- Gas ranges, stoves, and ovens
- Furnaces, heaters, and central heating systems
- Gas lanterns or other gas lighting sources
- Emergency gas generators
- BBQs and grills
Remember: Install carbon monoxide detection alarms in your home and test them frequently. The moment you suspect carbon monoxide in your residence, evacuate all people and pets immediately. Call 911 if you need help evacuating or someone is showing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, which include headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Call the fire department after everyone is evacuated safely and do not reenter the premises until told it is safe to do so.

Ted McNabola is an amazing attorney! He handled my mom’s case after she was hit by a car as a pedestrian. The difference between Ted and other attorneys is that he never gave up! It was a long process of 3 years but when other attorney’s would have given up just to make some money on the case, Ted refused to do so!! In the end he got my mother EVERYTHING she was asking for! Thank you Ted for never giving up!!!!- Kat J.

Throughout the legal process, Ted was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance.
