Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York
Compensation for lost wages/medicine from scabies from infected hotel room?
I recently stayed at a hotel and
contracted scabies while I was there.
(The owner later admitted that the place
had been infected) This required me to
lose several days of work (unpaid) and
to spend almost 100 dollars on
medications and fumigation for my
apartment. The hotel has offered to
refund the price of my room, but I am
also seeking some compensation for my
lost wages and out of pocket medical
expenses. What can I do?

You should also collect for your illness. You could sue the corporate entity that owns the hotel in Small claims court. Good luck.

You have the option of bringing an action for personal injury; the hotel
breached its duty to provide you with a clean, healthy place to sleep and I am sure they are in violation of various health codes as well.
Consult an attorney such as myself or someone in the area the hotel is located.
