California law states that all rental units must be maintained in a habitable condition. Landlords are required to address infestations promptly and cannot shift the responsibility to tenants without cause. Failing to address a bed bug outbreak can be considered negligent and may qualify as grounds for a lawsuit.
Our law firm has secured over $200 million for renters harmed by negligent landlords. With more than 27 years of tenant advocacy, Castelblanco Law Group is one of California’s most trusted legal teams for bed bug lawsuits.
Not all infestations qualify for legal action. Here’s how to know if you may have a valid claim.
Even without written reports or photos, you may still have a case. Our team can help gather evidence, talk to witnesses, and document the infestation timeline.
A successful lawsuit can help you recover both financial and emotional losses. Here’s what our clients often receive.
We seek damages for the physical and emotional toll caused by bites, sleep loss, and anxiety.
You may be eligible for reimbursement of destroyed furniture, clothing, and relocation expenses if you had to move out due to the infestation.

Attorney Eric Castelblanco shares how they were desperate for help until they discovered Castelblanco Law Group.
Yes, if your landlord knew or should have known about the infestation and failed to act, you may be able to sue under California’s habitability laws.
You may be able to recover costs for medical treatment, destroyed property, relocation, lost wages, and emotional distress.
While every case is different, many bed bug lawsuits take a few months to a year depending on complexity, evidence, and negotiations.
We’ll review the facts and help prove whether the infestation was pre-existing or caused by building neglect. California law favors tenants in many of these disputes.
Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood, often at night. Infestations can cause itching, skin rashes, sleep loss, and stress, especially for children and families living in crowded conditions.
California law requires landlords to maintain habitable apartments. Infestations like bed bugs make an apartment unsafe and unlivable, which is illegal under habitability standards.
Our attorneys represent tenants living with bed bug infestations, holding negligent property owners accountable. We guide tenants through reporting, documentation, and legal action to secure compensation and ensure proper remediation.
