MyBedBugLawyer, led by nationally recognized bed bug trial lawyer Brian Virag, announces three new lawsuits involving the family water park resort.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MyBedBugLawyer (mybedbuglawyer.com) has filed three new lawsuits alleging bed bug exposures at Great Wolf Lodge’s Manteca resort, bringing the firm’s pending cases involving the property to five. The filings add to litigation that previously resulted in a $254,500 jury verdict for the firm’s clients.

The new cases involving Floyd Ransom, Buu Luu, and Eva Chung join existing lawsuits involving Elizabeth Ruiz and Giselle Layson in San Joaquin County Superior Court.

One resort. One jury verdict. Five additional lawsuits.

“We don’t go looking for Great Wolf Lodge cases. These families find us,” said Brian Virag, founder of MyBedBugLawyer. “We tried one case to a jury and won. Now we are pursuing five additional cases involving the same resort. Families deserve to know about these allegations.”

The earlier case, Monica Cuevas-Avila, et al. v. GWR Manteca, LLC, et al., Case No. STK-CV-UNPI-2023-0009370, resulted in a $254,500 jury verdict for the plaintiffs. The five pending lawsuits concern alleged exposures during separate guest stays.

A Resort Built Around Families

Great Wolf Lodge markets its Manteca property as a family destination, with an indoor water park, guest accommodations, and activities for children and parents.

“Parents bring their kids to Great Wolf Lodge to swim, play, and spend time together,” Virag said. “When they head back to the room, they should be thinking about tomorrow’s plans—not worrying about what might be crawling in the bed.”

Bite Marks May Appear After Guests Return Home

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bed bug bite marks may take up to 14 days to develop in some people. Guests may therefore return home before noticing a reaction.

“Don’t dismiss a possible exposure simply because you didn’t see a bed bug during your stay,” Virag said. “Keep your photographs, hotel records, and communications with the property. Tell us what happened. We will evaluate the evidence.”
