Fraud and misrepresentation claims involve false statements or omissions that influence a party’s decision. Damages may include direct losses, lost profits, and, in some cases, certain incidental costs. A claim may also seek rescission of a contract or injunctive relief to prevent further harm.

California statutes of limitations set deadlines to file fraud and misrepresentation claims. It is important to start investigations early to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
While you may represent yourself in some civil matters, fraud claims can involve complex evidence and legal standards. Consulting with a California attorney increases the likelihood of properly presenting your case and pursuing remedies.
