Construction Fraud Claims

Construction fraud occurs when a party intentionally deceives another for financial gain, causing the victim to suffer losses. Fraud in construction goes beyond mere negligence; it involves deliberate misrepresentation or deceit, often relating to materials, project scope, or payment terms. Our attorneys represent clients in construction fraud cases, working to hold fraudulent parties accountable and secure damages for our clients.

To prove construction fraud, the plaintiff must demonstrate that:

• A False Representation Was Made: The defendant knowingly made a false statement with the intent to mislead the plaintiff.
• Intent to Induce Reliance: The defendant's falsehood was meant to make the plaintiff act based on the incorrect information.
• Justifiable Reliance: The plaintiff reasonably relied on the false statement, expecting it to be true.
• Detriment Caused by the Fraud: As a result, the plaintiff suffered financial harm, project delays, or other damages.

Examples of construction fraud include cases where subcontractors use substandard materials despite assuring the contractor they would use high-quality supplies, or where a party misrepresents their ability to perform certain work. These cases require a meticulous approach to prove intentional deceit and hold the responsible party accountable.

Our attorneys are skilled in handling construction fraud cases, providing thorough support from investigation to litigation. Our services include:

• Investigating Fraud Claims: We conduct a detailed investigation into the alleged fraud, gathering evidence such as contracts, communications, and records to substantiate the claim.
• Establishing Intent and Misrepresentation: Proving fraud requires demonstrating that the defendant acted with intent. We work to uncover and present evidence that shows deliberate deception on the part of the accused.
• Seeking Damages for Financial Loss: Construction fraud often leads to substantial losses. We represent clients in court or in settlement negotiations to pursue compensation for all damages incurred, including financial losses and any additional project costs.
