Do You Have a Business Misrepresentation Claim?
Under Pennsylvania law, a misrepresentation claim requires establishing that a false statement was material to the transaction, was known to be false or made without reasonable basis, was intended to induce the other party to act, and that the relying party suffered damages as a result.
Innocent Misrepresentation
A false statement made without knowledge of its inaccuracy. The typical remedy is rescission of the contract to restore the parties to their pre-transaction positions.
Negligent Misrepresentation
A statement made without reasonable effort to verify its accuracy. This can give rise to contract rescission as well as financial recovery for losses caused by reliance on the inaccurate information.
Fraudulent Misrepresentation
A knowingly false statement made to induce another party to enter a transaction. Victims of fraudulent misrepresentation may void existing contracts and pursue legal action to recover compensation for all resulting harm.
