If you or a loved one suffered painful bed bug bites and lost expensive items like mattresses to bed bug infestations, we can help.

Bed bugs can cause painful bites that quickly turn into itchy welts. Many people who suffer these bites do not realize they come from bed bugs and assume they are mosquito bites. When landlords, hotel owners, or property managers fail to prevent bed bug infestations, affected parties can recoup their losses through civil claims.

Liability for Bed Bug Infestations

Most lawsuits concerning bed bugs involve property owners who fail to prevent bed bug infestations, such as hotels, apartment complexes, and vacation rentals. A property owner has a legal obligation to lawful visitors and guests to the property to prevent injuries, and this includes exposure to bed bugs.

Depending on the nature of a bed bug case, a plaintiff can sue for the damages resulting from an infestation. In most cases, plaintiffs can secure compensation for their medical expenses related to treating bed bug exposure as well as the property damage associated with removing the bed bugs. Bed bugs like to hide in mattresses, box springs, sheets, clothing, and nooks and crannies throughout a home. Plaintiffs will likely need to hire an exterminator to remove bed bugs, and this can be a costly process. They will also need to destroy any infested items like mattresses, pillows, and bedding, so plaintiffs can recover the costs of repairing or replacing such items in their claims.

Additional Information About Bed Bugs in Florida

If you plan to travel within Florida, there is a bed bug registry you can check to review all of the bed bug complaints in the state. The registry uses real police records and court documents to track bed bug-related incidents, so it’s a good way to do research if you plan to stay at a Florida resort or hotel in the near future.
