San Jose Bed Bug Lawyer

Over 278 million people visit California every year. Many of these people come to San Jose to take in a Sharks game, visit the many museums, and take in the other sights. Unfortunately, after visiting, many people find that they have taken more than just good memories home with them. These visitors often bring a bed bug infestation onto their property. It is also not just tourists that suffer unnecessarily from bed bugs. Residents do, too, and they also often have rights in a bed bug lawsuit. If you have suffered harm due to a bed bug infestation that was no fault of your own, you do have legal options. Below, our San Jose bed bug lawyer explains more about the legal action you may be able to take.

Under state law, the owners of hotels, motels, apartment buildings, and other establishments that have tenants or guests are required to inspect for bed bugs on a regular basis. Once an infestation has made its way onto a property, these individuals are also responsible for eradicating the problem. When property owners fail to meet this duty of care and someone suffers losses as a result, they can be held liable for paying damages due to their actions.

Bed bugs are more than just a mere nuisance. They can cause a great deal of harm, and once an infestation has set in, it is extremely difficult to get rid of. Even professional pest control companies face challenges when eliminating bed bugs. Some of the most common injuries caused by bed bugs are as follows:

• Transmission to others
• Post bite infections
• Severe internal allergic reaction
• Severe allergic skin reaction
• Potential susceptibility to other medical conditions
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent scarring
• Loss of personal items, such as bedding, mattresses, and clothing

Through a legal claim, victims can claim damages for all of the above losses. Unfortunately, claiming the compensation you deserve is not always easy. If you are a renter, for example, you will have to prove that your landlord is to blame for the infestation and that you did not bring the pests onto the property. Likewise, if you brought bed bugs home after staying somewhere else, you must also prove the accommodations had bed bugs and that you were not the cause of the infestation. A San Jose bed bug attorney can help ensure you receive the full and fair settlement you deserve.

Proving a bed bug civil claim is never easy. At Brod Law Firm, our San Jose bed bug lawyer can collect the necessary evidence to prove you are not to blame for an infestation and to help you recover the full and fair settlement that is rightfully yours.
