Lake Havasu City Bed Bug Injury lawyer

Lake Havasu City Bed Bug Injury Lawyer

Lake Havasu City in Arizona was once known for its large-scale spring break events for university students. Although such events have become a thing of the past, the city has remained a popular destination over the years. The city is home to boating events, jet ski events, fishing events, and many other one-of-a-kind events. Because of this, there are constantly people coming and going – staying at hotels and motels for shorter stays and even renting properties for the longer stays.

Can I Sue?

Do you have the right to sue after you or a member of your family experienced harm associated with exposure to a bed bug infestation? If so, you might have grounds to pursue a bed bug injury claim. However, your right to sue will be based on your specific situation.

Can you sue a store owner for a bed bug infestation? Let’s consider furniture stores, specifically. Sometimes, the poor conditions inside the store and/or product storage area can contribute to infestations. Additionally, stores can knowingly sell products that are infested with bed bugs. All store owners have a duty to ensure that their premises are safe for their shoppers; additionally, furniture stores, specifically, have a duty to provide their customers with furniture that is sanitary. If their furniture is infested by bed bugs, you could definitely sue the furniture store owner for bed bug bites and all losses resulted from the incident.

Can you sue a hotel or motel owner for the harm resulting from exposure to a bed bug infestation? In hotels and motels, owners have a duty to keep their entire premises safe for their guests. Since bed bug infestations represent a health risk, hotel and motel owners must ensure that their premises are free of infestations. If they expose their guests to bed bug infestations, they could potentially face liability for any harm or damages resulting from the incident.

Can you sue a landlord if you are exposed to a bed bug infestation in an apartment? All landlords have a duty to ensure that their apartments are in a habitable condition for their tenants. Bed bug infestations make apartments inhabitable; therefore, landlords must address any infestations (preferably before tenants move in, but also after move-in if the infestation already existed). The exception is if the bed bug infestation was introduced by the tenant. Does this apply to short-term rentals, like Airbnb? Landlords or hosts offering short-term rentals also have this duty to tenants (in some cases, the short-term rental company can even have some liability). So, if your landlord exposed you to a bed bug infestation, they could be liable for the resulting harm/damages.

File Within the Statute of Limitations

All injury claims in Arizona are subject to a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the total time allowed by the statute of limitations, they could completely lose their right to file their claim. In Arizona, personal injury claims – which includes bed bug injury claims – are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their claims. Although the statute of limitations establishes a strict deadline, exceptions could apply (which could toll or pause the deadline). To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to file your claim, contact us immediately.
