One of Farchi’s attorneys said: “She is alleging that their sexual relationship has suffered significantly since the sting.”
The lawsuit claims the hotel “owed a duty of care to Plaintiffs to provide a clean, safe, and sanitary room… that was free of vermin, bed bugs, or similar things, including scorpions.” Attorney Brian Virag said: “It really doesn’t matter, so much, how it got there,” adding the hotel allegedly had prior knowledge of “infestation of poisonous, deadly scorpions.”
Virag, also known as the ‘My Bed Bug Lawyer,’ continued: “The fact that it was there and they were on notice that there were prior issues of scorpions at the subject property that’s obviously the main point here. From our understanding, there was some ongoing construction at the time that this incident happened. Just before the incident happened and the time the incident happened.”
Farchi told hotel staff in a medical incident report he was “bitten by scorpion on my groin/testicles.” But he claimed employees laughed at him, branding the ordeal “really embarrassing.”
He was also treated at the UCLA Medical Center, who allegedly confirmed Farchi suffered physical injuries and erectile dysfunction.
“[There have been] many effects on my family, my work – everything,” Farchi told 8 News Now. He is now seeking a jury trial to assess damages for past and future medical expenses, mental distress, anguish, pain and suffering, loss of companionship and support, and loss of enjoyment of life.
