Fraud involves a false statement of material fact made with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for the truth, intended to induce reliance. If you were harmed by fraud, you may recover actual damages, and in some cases, restitution or disgorgement of profits.
Damages in fraud cases are typically measured by actual losses, including out-of-pocket costs, lost profits, and sometimes punitive damages if allowed. CA law limits certain damages and requires proof of causation and reliance. Your attorney helps quantify damages and prove the link between the misrepresentation and your losses.
