MYBEDBUGLAWYER Wins Half a Million Dollars Against Hilton Hotel for Bedbugs

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Brian Virag, attorney from the law firm of MYBEDBUGLAWYER in Encino, CA, www.mybedbuglawyer.com obtained a $546,000 jury verdict against the owners of the Hilton Garden Inn in Rancho Cucamonga, CA whose clients were exposed to bedbugs for a one-night hotel stay in 2013.  The court in San Bernardino County, CA approved the October jury verdict last week.

Within a few hours of going to sleep the first night of their stay at the hotel, the McKindra's woke up to bedbugs crawling on both beds in the hotel room and feeding on their blood.  The whole experience was beyond traumatizing and it continues to this day.  This was something you can never forget, says the McKindra's.

The McKindra's are a military family who currently live Arkansas, and were in California to bring their son a car because he was serving reserve duty in the Air Force.

"The McKindra's were some of finest human beings in the world," said Virag.  "Mr. Alex McKindra has served this country in the US Army for more than thirty years and is a retired colonel.  His wife Martha is a retired schoolteacher who devoted her life to being a military wife and supporting her husband and children while they all served in various branches of the US military, one graduating from West Point Academy and the other from the Air Force Academy.  This family is 'America' and the finest people this country has to offer, and it was my honor to carry the flag for a family that has carried our flag in protecting our democracy," said Virag.

This was one of the largest bedbug verdicts against a hotel ever in the United States.

The jury awarded nearly half a million dollars in emotional distress damages for the traumatic effect the bedbugs had on his clients.  The jury also awarded $50,000 in punitive damages to punish and deter the Hilton Garden Inn from exposing its guests to bedbugs.

This case is about the clients who needlessly suffered because of the lack of policies and procedures in place to protect their hotel guests from bedbugs.
