Bed bug personal injury compensation

For people who have suffered bed bug bites and a possible bed bug infestation in their own home as a result of exposure to bugs and eggs in a hotel, it may be possible to claim personal injury compensation.

Bed bug bites can be very distressing and go beyond the relatively superficial symptoms of mosquito bite-like welts on the skin and accompanying itching to far-reaching health problems, both physical and psychological.

Symptoms can be particularly severe, even traumatic, in young children or people with underlying health conditions.

Some people may require medical intervention and medication, while for those most affected counselling or therapy may be an essential step in attempting to recover full health.

Who can claim bed bug compensation?
Under the terms of the Occupiers Liability Act of 1957, hotels and hostels are required to take reasonable steps to protect guests from injury or illness.

Any person who has booked a holiday and hotel stay only to have the whole experience ruined, perhaps for the whole family, by the experience of a bed bug infestation may be able to make a successful holiday injury claim, whether against the hotel directly or through the tour operator which arranged the stay.

Sums of personal injury compensation will depend on the level of suffering, extent of infestation and total lost earnings. However, in cases where the infestation has travelled in luggage from the hotel to the claimant's home, settlements are likely to be considerably higher than in claims for ruined holidays alone.
