BED BUG INFESTATIONS

Bed Bug Infestations: How They Happen and What You Can Do

If you have been exposed to bed bugs you may be entitled to financial compensation for injuries, medical bills, permanent scarring, and even property damage in your home. According to the National Pest Management Association, it has been estimated that 1 in 5 Americans have had a personal experience with bed bugs or know someone who has encountered bed bugs in a public place. Bed bugs can live in furniture, carpets, clothing, and many other belongings. Their bites can cause itching and scratching, rashes, asthma, and even in rare cases, anaphylaxis. Infestations can lead to both monetary and non-monetary damages. The attorneys at Alex R. White can take the necessary steps to help if bed bugs have wreaked havoc on you or your family.

Bed Bug Infestations Can Take Place In:

• Hotels

• Hospitals

• Nursing Homes

• College dorm rooms

• Apartment complexes

• Business offices

• Daycare Centers

Businesses such as hospitals and hotels owe a higher duty of care to their guests and customers to provide safe and healthy conditions. If you can prove that bed bugs were already present when you stayed at a hotel or moved into your new apartment you may be compensated.

Here are the steps to take if you have been exposed to bed bugs:

1. Preserve any evidence of bed bugs. Examine all bed sheets, mattresses, curtains, carpets, and cushions. Take pictures of bites and take pictures of the bugs themselves if you can find them.

2. Notify your hotel, apartment, or business of the issue.

3. See a doctor. If exposed to bed bugs, it is possible you may need to seek medical attention for bites, rashes, and allergic reactions.

4. BITE BACK: Contact an experienced attorney like those at Alex R. White PLLC. We have plenty of experience handling bed bug claims.
