A business tort is a civil wrong that causes economic damage to a business outside of a contract. This category includes fraud, conversion of property, and interference with contract or prospective business relations.
Typical claims require proof of conduct, causation, and damages, followed by the appropriate legal steps such as complaint, discovery, settlement negotiations, and, if needed, trial.
Glossary terms and explanations to help you understand the concepts and processes involved in business tort litigation.
Fraud involves intentional misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact that causes harm to a business or its customers, leading to damages and potential remedies.
Conversion refers to the wrongful control or use of someone else’s property or assets, resulting in economic loss for the rightful owner.
Interference with contract occurs when a third party knowingly disrupts a contractual relationship, causing financial harm to a business.
Damages are the financial compensation awarded to a party harmed by a tort, intended to restore them to the position they would have been in had the wrong not occurred.
