Bed bugs are tiny insects that can infect countless rooms and homes as quickly as the wind blows. They are microscopic bugs that live within the threads of your clothes, suitcases, sofa, and mattress. Once they’ve made your home their home, they can be very difficult to exterminate. Even if you hire a professional exterminator, it’s not guaranteed they’ll kill 100% of the critters. Once you have bed bugs, they can quickly spread onto anything you come into contact with. If you have them on your clothes, they can infect your sofa and mattress the minute you rest on them. They bite and feed on your blood which can leave very painful and itchy pink bumps. Bed bugs don’t care about how big or small, clean or dirty, your home is. If there’s blood, they’re happy campers.
When you’re on the road and have to book a motel room to catch some sleep, you’ve already lowered your expectations of luxury. A motel is an economic hotel with the bare minimum: a bed, a bathroom, and, if you’re lucky, a television set with basic channels. Because of their low-cost, they are popular choices for people to book. With so much traffic going in and out of motel rooms, bed bugs find them ideal places to stay. From their perspective, a motel room with a consistent cycle of new humans with fresh blood is about as luxurious as it can get. But, for us, bed bug bites can be nasty and especially unwelcomed guests when we book motel rooms.
When you get attacked by bed bugs and get severe bed bug bites, your best option is to see a doctor to get treatment. After you get the necessary medical treatment, you have to contact our law firm and get one of our experienced bed bug attorneys to review the facts of your case. The quality of healthcare in the US is among the world, the access to healthcare, however, is second- or third-rate. That means that medical bills are going to be extremely costly.

Bed bugs, in terms of successfully suing a motel, can be difficult because you have to prove negligence in part of the motel. In other words, you have to demonstrate that the motel knew of the bed bugs, or should have known of the infestation spreading throughout their property, but refused to take action to exterminate them.
This might seem easy for your motel bed bug bites. Motels have to regularly inspected and cleaned before the next user. So if you get bed bug injuries and your property become infected, clearly the motel owners were negligent, right?
Not so fast. Bed bugs, like bed bug cases, are tricky. Anyone who has ever dealt with bed bugs knows that the microscopic insects are resilient and difficult to kill. Even if one bed bug survives, it can repopulate the room with thousands upon thousands of bed bugs. Also if the motel was monitored consistently, the inspection could fail to realize the spread of bed bugs.
In addition to that, there’s always the possibility that the last person who was bit by bed bugs failed to report the incident. Their inspection of the specific room may not be as clinical as it would be if they knew of the infection.
If you want to file a bed bugs lawsuit against the motel and receive compensation for your damages, it is up to you to prove that the motel acted negligently. Collecting the necessary evidence is going to be difficult and time-consuming. You may not have the time to deal with collecting every last bit of necessary evidence to prove negligence in part of the motel. It’s possible you may not know the laws that surround bed bugs and hotels/motels. It is for these reasons we believe that your best bet to successfully sue a motel for bed bug bites is to contact an experienced bed bug attorney.
