San Diego Business Tort Lawyers
While most relationships in business are formed by agreement and regulated by the law of contracts, sometimes a company's right to enforce contractual commitments will not be sufficient to protect its interests. If your company has been damaged by the negligent, reckless, or malicious conduct of another, you are very likely the victim of a business tort, whether or not you have any contract in place with the wrongdoer. For specific advice about your rights in business tort litigation, contact a knowledgeable civil trial lawyer at The McClellan Law Firm in San Diego.
Examples of business torts that can support a claim for damages are the following:
- Interference with rights under a contract
- Abuse of process
- Antitrust violations, restraint of trade, or anticompetitive or unfair business practices
- Unauthorized disclosure of business secrets or breach of nondisclosure terms
- Fraud, misrepresentation, or nondisclosure of material facts
Business tort claims are often raised as counterclaims in contract disputes, or as third party claims for indemnification in circumstances where a party has a legitimate explanation for its own breach of contract. Our understanding of the complexities of business tort law can help you no matter how the tort claim affects your company--as a means of recovering damages against the tortfeasor, as a counterclaim against a party alleging breach of contract against you, or as a claim against a third party responsible for your own inability to perform.
