WHY IS A BUSINESS TORTS ATTORNEY NECESSARY FOR THESE CASES?

When you become the plaintiff in a business tort claim, the reality is that you need to have an attorney by your side who understands every aspect of these situations. Most business owners and operators who try to handle these situations on their own will be outmatched by the resources and legal teams of the opposing party. However, what a plaintiff secures assistance from a skilled business tort attorney, they will have an advocate by their side who can bring the expertise and resources necessary to handle every aspect of the claim.

A business tort attorney will understand the complexity involved with modern business litigation. At Colson Hicks Eidson, our clients trust us to handle sensitive and confidential litigation issues, and we have a track record of success in this area of law. Our lawyers aggressively seek legal solutions for business tort claims throughout the course of the litigation. We have experience resolving these claims through various types of alternative dispute resolution methods, including arbitration and mediation.

However, we will also fully prepare to take these cases to trial if necessary. Our goal is to ensure that our clients receive adequate representation at every step along the way.

TIME LIMITS TO FILE BUSINESS TORTS CLAIMS

We want our readers to know that they have a limited amount of time to file lawsuits in these cases. However, properly understanding the exact amount of time can be challenging. For every type of business tort case that we discussed above, there are different statutes of limitation written into the law. Additionally, each state across the country is allowed to set its own statute of limitations for every type of business tort claim. This can lead to a myriad of different time limits that can confuse most business owners and operators.

We strongly recommend you contact one of the business tort attorneys at Colson Hicks Eidson for help understanding how much time you have to file a claim. We will conduct a thorough examination of your claim and make sure that any approaching deadline is met with proper court filings.

WHAT ARE COMMON BUSINESS TORTS?

Tort law defines business torts as commercial lawsuits that typically stem from problems with business transactions or business relationships. Business tort cases, also called economic torts, most often result in an economic loss rather than injury or property damage. However, these economic damages can threaten the reputation and future growth of businesses.

Our business litigation lawyers want to help you protect the future of your business. If tortious conduct in a business transaction or contract has caused financial harm, then call 305-476-7400.

EXAMPLES OF BUSINESS TORT CASES

Business torts encompass a variety of wrongdoings. Our Miami commercial litigation attorneys can help if your business has fallen victim to:

  • Fraudulent misrepresentation: Using a false statement to persuade another party to enter a contract that causes the party entering to suffer loss.
  • Bad faith: When one party involved in a business contract intentionally violates its terms causing the other to suffer damages due to unfair dealings in bad faith.
  • Deceptive trade practices: Occurs when a person or business uses any type of unethical means (fraud or deception) to obtain business, make a sale or provide a service.
  • Tortious interference: Tortious interference is also called intentional interference with contractual, economic, or prospective relations. It is when one party not involved in a contract acts intentionally to damage a contractual or business relationship.
  • Misappropriating trade secrets or business opportunities: Tort law protects any secret technique or method that gives your business a competitive advantage. Those who then use this information without your knowledge may be accountable for damages. This may include, for example, an employee who breaches a disclosure contract.
  • Breaching fiduciary relationships: Fiduciaries (such as partners or shareholders in a company) have a responsibility to act with reasonable care for the benefit of the other involved parties. However, when they breach this care, the parties who suffer damages may file a fraud claim.
  • Conspiracy: Conspiracy covers a wide range of business torts. Specifically, it applies when two or more individuals or businesses make an agreement to commit an illegal action or a legal action in an illegal way.
