Bed Bugs scientifically known as Cimex Lectularius are small insects that reside in cracks around your bed mainly under fitted sheets and in the corners of a mattress.
Bed bugs or Cimicosis can be infected with at least 28 human pathogens and their bites can lead to a range of skin symptoms from no visible effects to prominent blisters.
Bed bugs are known to bite human skin and cause rash due to itchiness and will generally show redness of the area affected within 30 minutes of being bitten. The symptoms can last for several days whilst causing you to feel sick as well as having skin irritation.
You typically have around 3 years to start your personal injury claim and the time is counted from the date of your accident. If the date of your accident is approaching limitation, we can apply for an extension in most cases to ensure you do not lose the right to claim.
There are exceptions to the three-year rule in some cases, so if you think you might have a claim we advise you to contact us as soon as possible so we can determine your chances for successful compensation.
If you are making a claim for an accident at work then there are 3 main exceptions to the three-year rule:
The amount of compensation varies depending on the type of accident, the severity of the illness or injury, and the individual situation as each person can be affected differently.
