| A person commits
fraud when he or she knowingly makes a material
misrepresentation with the intent of inducing
another person to act or refrain from acting to his
or her detriment. It is also necessary to show that
the material misrepresentation was justifiably
relied upon when the “victim” acted or failed to
act. “Negligent” misrepresentation occurs when, in the
course of a transaction in which a person has a
pecuniary interest, a person supplies another with
false information to guide their business
transaction. That person who so misrepresents can be
liable for any pecuniary loss caused by the
justifiable reliance upon that false information.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to
fraud or misrepresentation, call Law Office of James C. DeZao at 1-800-675-2604 . The
initial consultation is free of charge, and if we
agree to handle your case, we will work on a
contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for
our services only if there is a monetary recovery of
funds. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before
an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of
limitations, so please call right away to ensure
that you do not waive your right to possible
compensation. |
