Fraud involves a deliberate false statement or concealment intended to deceive and cause harm, typically requiring proof of misrepresentation, intent, reliance, and damages. Misrepresentation refers to a false statement that induces another party to enter into a deal, which can be intentional or negligent. Both can form the basis of civil claims seeking remedies such as damages or rescission.
California statutes of limitations for fraud and misrepresentation vary by claim and facts. It is important to act promptly because waiting can bar recovery. A lawyer can assess deadlines based on your specific situation and ensure timely filings.
Remedies may include monetary damages to compensate losses, rescission to unwind a contract, and injunctive relief to prevent ongoing harm. In some cases, you may also recover court costs and attorney fees depending on the rules applicable to your claim.
