The Harm Caused by Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small insects that thrive on blood. Human blood is their preferred meal which helps them to live and reproduce—and eventually allows them to infest entire hotels, motels, and apartment buildings. Bed bugs are tiny creatures; although they are visible to the human eye, they often hide in places not obvious to human vision. Bed bugs can be found in beds, mattresses, pillows, bedding, couches, sofas, carpets, clothes, luggage, and cushions, for example. Undeniably, bed bugs gravitate towards soft, cloth-like items; however, bed bugs are also known to hide in crevices in furniture built from a variety of materials. Because of bed bugs’ efficiency in hiding, infestations are often difficult to identify.

Most infestations are identified after reports of bed bug bites. Bed bug bites can be noticed immediately after being bitten; however, they could take a few days to appear. Bed bug bites are itchy, sometimes red bumps on the skin. Bites often come in patterns—specifically zigzag patterns. In general, bed bug bites only cause discomfort, but bed bug bites could be the start of many other negative effects.

You could experience all of the following due to exposure to bed bugs:

• Itchy bites
• Skin infections caused by broken skin around bites
• Allergic reactions to the substances in bed bug saliva
• Mental and emotional distress (insomnia, fear, anxiety, panic, PTSD)
• Permanent scarring on the site of the bites

In addition to the physical, emotional, and mental harm listed above, exposure to a bed bug infestation could also result in the following: expensive medical bills; loss of income; loss of personal property; expenses to replace lost property; extermination fees; relocation expenses.

If you were harmed in any of the ways listed above after you were exposed to bed bugs in your apartment or in a hotel/motel, you must seek legal assistance with a lawyer for bed bugs in Racine, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison, and Kenosha as soon as possible. A bed bug lawsuit attorney in Wisconsin for bed bug bites in a hotel or an apartment building will be able to provide you all the information that you need to pursue a bed bug claim and recover the compensation that you deserve.

Bed Bugs in Apartment Buildings
Did you ever imagine that you would move into an apartment that was infested with bed bugs? Can I sue my landlord for bed bugs in Wisconsin? Can you sue your landlord for bed bugs?

If the bed bug infestation was not a result of the negligence of your landlord, you might not have a valid claim. An example of negligence includes the following: you notice a few bed bugs in your apartment a few days after you move in; you do not have a history of bed bugs. You report the bed bugs to your landlord, and your tenant admits that the last tenant moved out because of the bed bug problem. Your landlord did not exterminate the apartment because it was out of the budget, but he was aware of the problem.
