Banafsheh, Danesh & Javid Secures Favorable Settlement for Victims of Building Fire

Animation Explains How Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Results in Brain Injury

When a fire broke out on the 11th floor of a high-rise apartment building, many of its residents were unaware. Not only was the building not equipped with a fire sprinkler system, but several other fire safety procedures were ignored, including the failure to notify residents over the public-address system. Ultimately, the fire and smoke moved swiftly throughout the floors, leaving many residents unsure of what to do or where to go.

An elderly gentleman had attempted to flee through a stairwell with his young granddaughter but ran into a cloud of heavy smoke. Unable to see or breathe, since carbon monoxide poisoning had begun to set in, the family lost consciousness. Luckily, a neighbor was able to drag them to safety just in time. Firefighters eventually arrived on the scene and removed the residents from the building. During hospitalization, the young girl had to receive three treatments of hyperbaric oxygen after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning, smoke inhalation, hypoxia, and a resulting traumatic brain injury.
