Business tort cases involve wrongdoing by an individual or business against another person who is involved in a business relationship with the wrongdoer. "Business Torts" may give rise to a claim or lawsuit based upon special statutory provisions or basic common law theories. Examples of business tort cases handled by Brannon & Associates include:
When companies and individuals you trust, such as banks, business partners, accounting firms, credit card companies and insurance companies enter into business with you, they have an obligation to treat you fairly and operate within the law. When you work with individuals who provide advice and guidance, such as an investment counselor, stock broker or insurance agent they have a fiduciary responsibility to act in your best interest. When they act in their own best interests instead of yours or when they act in contradiction to contractual or statutory obligations, you have recourse under the law. For individuals who believe that they have been defrauded, consulting with an experienced lawyer about your rights is the best place to start.
Our firm understands that most small business owners cannot afford to assert their legal rights when they go up against larger corporations with seemingly unlimited funds with which to pay lawyers and legal expenses. That is why Brannon & Associates offers to handle some meritorious "business tort" claims on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no legal fees unless you prevail and collect money. Our firm takes a percentage of what you recover. This is just like we handle a personal injury lawsuit against the insurance companies. Depending on the case we may ask you to cover costs associated with the litigation. Once your case is evaluated the options and costs will be discussed based on the individual circumstances.
If you or your business has been the victim of “business torts,” Brannon & Associates may be able to help you obtain compensation. The law sets time limits in which you can pursue a claim, and once that time passes, your right to recover will be lost. Call our offices today for a free consultation with an attorney in our office.
