Fraud involves knowingly making false statements or concealing material facts that influence a business decision.
Misrepresentation can occur through inaccurate statements, omissions, or deceit in negotiations, contracts, or financial dealings.
In California, a successful claim typically requires showing a misrepresentation of a material fact, knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for truth, intent to defraud, justifiable reliance, and resulting damages.
A plaintiff must demonstrate a material misrepresentation or omission, knowledge of its falsehood, intent to defraud, reasonable reliance by the other party, and measurable harm. The approach includes collecting evidence, evaluating legal theories, and pursuing appropriate remedies through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
