A business tort is a wrongful act that harms a business’s interests, such as fraud or interference with a contract.

If you suspect such conduct, an evaluation can help determine available remedies and timelines.
California generally has a few different deadlines depending on the type of claim, but many fraud and tort claims must be filed within several years of discovery of the injury. Early consultation helps identify the right statute of limitations and preserve your rights.
