AWARD OF $1.6 MILLION FOR VICIOUS ATTACK BY.........BEDBUGS

by Bob Walsh

On the surface it seems a bit strange, even unreasonable. The family moved into an apartment in Inglewood, California and started having trouble. The couple's 3-year old son broke out in a rash. They took the crumb snatcher to the hospital and told the rash was caused by bug bites. A search of the home discovered a bedbug infestation, which had also attacked the 1-year old.

This past Monday the jury brought in an award of $1.593 million against the landlord. The 3-year old was so badly bitten that he ended up with facial scarring. The jury was only out one day.
