Bed Bug Claim Questions and Answers

How do I know if I have a valid bed bug case?
If you can show exposure, notice, and an unreasonable response with resulting damages, the claim may be viable.

What if the property owner says I caused the infestation?
Prior complaints, treatment records, or multiple affected units often refute this argument.

Do I need medical treatment to bring a claim?
Medical records help, but property loss and relocation costs may also support a claim.
