These are real bed bug bites, photographed by a client and shared with their permission.

Bed bugs can cause more than a bad night’s sleep. For some people, bites can become infected, leading to sleepless nights and time off work, and the effects can last long after checkout.

If you’ve been bitten by bed bugs on holiday or in a hotel, you may have options. Talk to Thompsons. The link is in the comments.

Would you spot this in your hotel bed?

Before you unpack, take two minutes to check: rust-coloured stains on the sheets, dark specks on the pillow, and live bugs in the mattress seams. If you’re bitten, photograph the bites and the room, tell the hotel and keep your receipts.

If you’ve been bitten by bed bugs on holiday, you may have options.

That’s exactly the kind of experience we want our clients to have.

I’m really happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a professional, supportive and trustworthy solicitor.”

For many survivors of abuse in foster care, one of the hardest steps can be deciding to speak to someone about what happened.
Claire is part of our specialist Life Impact Team, which supports people who experienced abuse in care and helps them understand the legal options available to them.
You do not need to know whether you have a claim before contacting us, and you do not need to set out everything that happened at the first stage.
Following the conclusion of recent court proceedings and sentencing, watch the video to hear Claire explain what happens when you get in touch and how our team can support you.
