A business tort is a civil wrong that harms a business, such as fraud, misappropriation, or breach of contract. These cases involve misrepresentation, unlawful taking of assets, or disruption of business relationships.
Time limits for bringing a claim depend on the specific cause of action and jurisdiction. In California, many business tort claims have statutes of limitations measured in years, so early legal counsel is important. Consulting an attorney can help you understand applicable deadlines.
Remedies include monetary damages, injunctions, and in some cases specific performance or other equitable relief. The availability of remedies depends on the claim and the facts.
Many disputes can be resolved through mediation or settlement without a full lawsuit, but some matters require court action.
For a consultation, bring contracts, emails, invoices, payment records, and any notes documenting misrepresentation or interference.
Some cases settle before trial, while others proceed to trial if a resolution cannot be reached through negotiation or mediation.
Damages typically include compensatory damages for losses; in some cases, incidental or consequential damages may apply. Punitive damages are only available in certain circumstances and with proper proof.
