Bed bugs are small, blood-sucking creatures that come out to feed on unsuspecting victims during the night. Since these insects are nocturnal and very small, they are usually completely out of sight. These vermin hide in small crevices – in the creases of mattresses, the folds of bed sheets, in furniture, behind picture frames, in drawers, in carpets, couches, etc. Bed bug infestations can lead to bed bug bites and other complications, one of the most severe being amputations.
If you or a loved one suffered a serious infection after bed bug bites that led to amputation, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. Our lawyers here at the Normandie Law Firm have decades of experience successfully handling different lawsuits and getting our clients the payout that they are owed.

Other Common Infestations – Spiders
Unfortunately, bed bugs are not the only vermin that can bite and cause significant harm. Spiders can also pose a significant risk. Of course, there are venomous spiders like banana spiders, black widow spiders, wolf spiders, brown recluse spiders, hobo spiders, and camel spiders, for example. However, even spider bites from non-venomous spiders can be very dangerous. These bites can become infected. If the infection after a spider bite is severe, necrosis can occur – and the only option to save the victim is the amputate the affected limb.

Can I Sue?
Yes – you can sue for the harm that you suffered as a direct result of bed bug bites. Of course, you could sue for the bed bug bites that you suffered; however, you could also sue for any complications of the bed bug bites. An amputation due to infected bed bug bites is a complication that occurred as a direct result of the bed bug bites. Your right to sue a hotel owner, a landlord, or any other property owner for bed bug bites and resulting harm is based on the concept of negligence.
There are four elements of negligence:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Cause
- Harm
That is, hotel owners have a duty to keep their premises free of vermin. By failing to inspect their hotel rooms and their entire premises to identify and address infestations, they can directly contribute to their guest’s exposure to the bed bugs, which can lead to bed bug bites and other harm.
Similarly, landlords have a duty to ensure that their rental apartments are habitable – and free of any infestations prior to tenants moving in. By failing to ensure that their rentals are habitable, they can directly contribute to their tenant’s exposure to bed bug infestation and bites.
What does this all mean? Hotel owners, motel owners, and property owners (whether it’s the landlord of your rental apartment building or rental home) can be liable for the harm resulting from exposure to bed bugs – whether this harm is just bed bug bites or amputations. For more information about your right to sue, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm immediately.
Am I Eligible for Compensation?
Can I be compensated for my amputation resulting from infected bed bug bites or spider bites? Yes – you could be eligible to receive compensation for the harm that you or a loved one suffered because of bed bug bites that led to infection and ultimately to amputation. What could you recover? Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:

As mentioned, this is at a minimum.
