A Ventura hotel, Shores Inn, was ordered by a jury to pay $2 million to guests Alvaro Gutierrez and Ramiro Sanchez for suffering extensive bed bug bites during their stay in February 2020. The lawsuit claimed that the management was aware of ongoing pest issues but failed to address them, exposing guests to potential harm. This jury decision is likely one of the largest awards concerning bed bug infestations, reflecting the seriousness of the plaintiffs' physical and emotional distress from the incident.
A jury on Friday ordered the Shores Inn to pay $2 million to Alvaro Gutierrez and Ramiro Sanchez, in what may be one of the largest known bed bug-related jury awards.
The complaint alleged that management at the hotel must have been aware of bed bug problems because several online reviews warned guests about it, yet they failed to act.
