Yes, you can pursue a claim or case against the moving company. You should consult with an attorney and provide a copy of the document that was the basis for the moving of the furniture. It may provide specifics to the obligations of the moving company and the remedy for damages. The attorney will be able to evaluate your chances of success. You can anticipate one of the defenses will be the bed bugs came from other sources than the moving company so you should record all places you and your family members have been during the time the furniture was in storage or with the moving company. Also, you should photograph the scars you and family members have to document the condition of everyone.
