Carbon Monoxide Is a Brain Injury Case.
Carbon monoxide affects the body’s ability to deliver and use oxygen, and the brain is especially sensitive to oxygen deprivation. That is why a serious exposure can lead to lasting cognitive and neurological injury.
Brain injury is the focus of Kaitlin Nares’s practice. In carbon monoxide cases, we look at the entire picture: not just the exposure itself, but what it has changed for the survivor and their family, from work and independence to relationships and future care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it was carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide has no smell, color or taste, and the symptoms can look like the flu. Several people feeling sick in the same place, or a carbon monoxide alarm going off, are important clues. Tell your healthcare provider you suspect an exposure.
I left the ER feeling okay. Can symptoms still show up?
Yes. Some people notice cognitive, emotional or neurological symptoms days or weeks after an exposure. Follow-up care is important, and so is writing down the changes you notice.
Who is responsible for a carbon monoxide leak?
It depends on what happened. An investigation may look at a landlord’s obligations, maintenance work, construction activity or equipment failures.
Should I go back to the property to look for evidence?
No. Never re-enter an unsafe building. An attorney can help identify relevant evidence and request it through safe, appropriate channels.
What does it cost to talk with you?
Nothing. The consultation is free, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before you call.
How long do I have to act?
Colorado has deadlines for injury claims, and equipment may be repaired or replaced after an exposure. It’s best to reach out as soon as you can.
