On August 1, 2025, a significant carbon monoxide leak at the Ashore Resort and Beach Club in Ocean City, Maryland, led to the evacuation of guests and staff, emergency medical responses, and the hospitalization of four hotel employees. A total of 18 people were evaluated on-site after dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide were discovered following an alarm. Investigators have traced the cause to a ventilation issue with the hotel’s boiler system. Swift evacuation and response prevented fatalities, but the event underscores just how quickly carbon monoxide can threaten lives in public spaces.

What Should You Do After a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Incident?

Suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning is a life-changing experience. The gas is invisible, odorless, and tasteless—often making exposure sudden and overwhelming. Individuals harmed in such incidents should take the following important steps:

1. Prioritize Health and Medical Attention

Leave the area immediately at the first sign of carbon monoxide exposure or if an alarm sounds. Seek prompt medical care, even if symptoms seem mild—such as headache, dizziness, nausea, or confusion. Blood tests (measuring carboxyhemoglobin levels) are critical for diagnosing exposure severity and guiding treatment.

2. Preserve Evidence

Document everything possible related to your exposure. Take photos of appliances, detectors, and the environment if it is safe. Keep all medical records, receipts, and communications. Do not allow repairs or removal of suspected faulty equipment—these may be essential evidence in any investigation.

3. Report the Incident

Notify local fire officials, health departments, or building management to start an official investigation. This can help uncover the source of the leak, prevent further incidents, and create formal documentation needed for a legal claim.

4. Consult a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

Legal issues surrounding carbon monoxide incidents are complex. Attorneys experienced in this field will conduct a thorough investigation, secure critical evidence, identify all responsible parties, and work with expert witnesses to build the strongest possible case. Your lawyer will also communicate with insurance companies on your behalf and ensure you meet crucial filing deadlines.

5. Protect Your Rights

Time is of the essence. Statutes of limitations can be as short as one year in some cases—delaying may jeopardize your ability to pursue compensation. An early legal consultation helps protect evidence and your legal rights. Contact a carbon monoxide poisoning lawyer now at our firm.
