A New Jersey man has filed suit against Trump National Doral Miami, a luxury resort owned by the Trump Organization, after he said he was bitten by bedbugs while staying in the property's Jack Nicklaus villa building.
In a lawsuit filed this week in Miami-Dade County, Eric Linder said he suffered multiple bedbug bites during his stay in March. The bites left welts, lumps and marks over much of his face, neck, arm and torso, the suit claims.
In the suit, Linder claims that the building had a history of bedbug problems dating back to at least January, but operators continued to allow guests to stay in “unsuitable” rooms.
Linder, who lives in Fort Lee, New Jersey, is seeking damages of more than $15,000.
