Can You Sue for Bedbugs in Hotels?
While bedbug bites are not life-threatening, they are painful and itchy. The actual bites are not felt, so people often wake to find dozens of the critters crawling on their bodies and hundreds of bite marks. It can completely ruin a vacation or business trip, especially if you have to interrupt plans to find new accommodations.
Bedbugs feed on human blood in the night or early morning. Bedbug bites start out as small bumps on exposed areas of the body: feet and legs, hands and arms, shoulders, neck or face. Soon they redden, swell and itch, and may become infected. The unsightly blemishes may last for a week or more. Some people have severe reactions.
If you were bitten while sleeping at a hotel or motel, you may have a claim against the facility for:
- Reimbursement of the cost of the room
- Medical treatment for the reaction or infection
- Clothing or linens that had to be discarded
- Pest control expenses for bedbugs carried home in your luggage
- Monetary damages for pain and suffering
