Bed Bug Attorney Servicing Westminster, MDhome Westminster MD 910x1024 - Westminster, MD Bed Bug Attorney

Westminster is a mid-size town in Maryland with a population of just over 18,000, and home to McDaniel College. Things to do in the area range from wandering through historical sites, such as the Carroll Country Farm Museum, to horseback riding. The Old Westminster Winery is a fun place to visit as is the Historical Society of Carroll County. Westminster is an attractive place for families and young professionals to live in. Local residents and neighbors from Milford Mill or Eldersburg regularly turn out for festivals.

Nearly half of Westminster’s residents rent apartments. Any time you rent one, expenses and problems are bound to crop up, including insect infestations. Bed bugs are a problem for apartment tenants, and bug bites can happen when you stay in Westminster hotels as well. Careless landlords allow infestations to spread untreated while irresponsible hotel owners fail to treat infestations, causing tenants and visitors to pay out-of-pocket to exterminate a bed bug infestation.

Whitney, LLP has recovered over $11 million in compensation for our clients who are victims in bed bug cases, and there are no out-of-pocket fees or expenses. If you have been harmed, then contact us online today or call us at (410) 583-8000.

Bed Bugs in Westminster Apartments and Hotels

In many areas, individuals can file bed bug bite claims against landlords and hotel owners if they have been exposed to bed bugs while on their property. Property and hotel owners are generally held to a high standard of service and care. They must provide residents and guests with spaces and rooms that are free of safety threats and health risks. This means that apartment complexes and hotels must take the proper actions to prevent and exterminate bed bug infestations. They should hire professional pest control companies when alerted of an infestation, but not all of them do.

What Are the Signs of Bed Bugs in Westminster?

The most common sign of bed bugs is evidence of bites. While some people develop an immediate skin reaction to bites, it takes others two or three days before obvious signs show up. This means that you may be unaware of a problem until a full-scale infestation has taken root. These bites are mainly painless, but many people are allergic to bed bug saliva. Itchy, swollen red welts are a sign of an infestation.

Other bed bug infestation signs in Westminster, Milford Mill or Eldersburg include specks of red or reddish-brown fecal spots on your upholstery, mattresses or walls. Along with this, the bugs molt their skins, so you will spot bed bug skins, white eggs or empty eggshells. You may even spot the bugs themselves.

What Should You Do If You Find a Bed Bug in Westminster?

If you find a bed bug in your Westminster apartment or hotel room, take a breath. If there are just a few bed bugs, then you may not be dealing with a large-scale infestation. Be sure to call a pest extermination company to investigate. It will determine if there is a large infestation present and advise you about the treatment options. A professional’s response should focus on pest control solutions that are appropriate and reflect the level of the infestation.

Compensation If You are a Westminster Bed Bug Infestation Victim

If you have experienced bed bug bites while staying in a hotel or a rental property, you should be able to file a claim against the owner if they were aware of a bed bug infestation or would have been if they had taken the proper precautions. With bed bug bite claims, be prepared to prove that your injuries were the result of the negligent actions of the owner. Claims for compensation for bed bugs include

• Violation of Maryland’s Consumer Protection Act
• Breach of contract
• Breach of the warranty of habitability
• Fraud
• Negligence
