Step 1: Document Everything
Documentation is key to a good case. If you claim that you received bed bug bites at a hotel, it is imperative that you document everything necessary to make your case as compelling as possible. Without it, there won’t be any evidence to prove your case. For example, if you received bed bug bites but didn’t take any pictures, nor notified the hotel, nor visited the doctor for your treatment, there won’t be anything to prove your pain and suffering. No judge on the planet will rule in your favor without evidence, and we as lawyers can’t simply pull evidence out of thin air. Document every step of the incident. The more information you have the better your case is. Here is a list of what you should document:![- Downtown LA Law Group Document Everything - Bed bug infestations are a growing dilemma facing hot guests](/wp-content/uploads/take-picture-of-the-hotel.jpg)
- Manager’s name;
- Name of any housekeeper or staff who cleaned your room;

- Photos of bites–this is very important. Take as many photos of your bites as you can;
- If you visit a doctor keep records of your visit, including receipts of creams purchased, name of your doctor and time of visit;

Step 2: Contact County Health Department
After you’ve documented the initial bites and information regarding the hotel management/housekeeping, as well as notified the hotel staff, you’ll want to notify an official office. Having an official record of the incident is important and helps add credibility to your case. Contact the county health department in your area and report the issue. Often times they will immediately send out staff to inspect and notate the issue. Make sure you get the name of the county official or employee who is dispatched to take the report. Ask for a copy of the report or whether one can be mailed to you.Step 3: Do NOT Speak With Hotel Manager or Insurance
Hotel owners will attempt to avert liability from their establishment. Can you blame them? An owner has no reason to trust that one of its customers all of a sudden has bed bugs. Many will blame the guest for the bed bugs and deny any liability, claiming that the bed bugs were brought in by the customer and it was them who caused the outbreak. Others will attempt to make a quick clean up before county health officials arrive to notate the instance. It is important to make sure the county health department has a record before a clean up is conducted. This will help in proving your case and becomes a very important document in obtaining a settlement. If you are note moving out of the hotel you should request a room change to avoid continued harm.Step 4: Get Medical Attention
