How to Pursue an Automobile Sales Fraud Case
When people buy cars,
they often rely upon representations made by a salesperson or dealership. Many
car buyers find out after the fact that these representations were false or
exaggerations. When this occurs, there may be legal remedies available to hold
the salesperson or dealer accountable. If you are a victim of automobile sales
fraud, then a Gurnee IL fraud attorney may be able to assist.
What are some remedies when there is automobile sales fraud?
When automobile sales fraud can be shown, you may be able to pursue a claim
seeking various types of remedies. This can include money damages, financial
penalties, cancellation of the sale, and legal fees and costs. There could also
be damages awarded for violation of certain laws that are intended to protect
consumers.
What needs to be shown in a automobile fraud case?
To be successful in an automobile fraud case, you will need to establish that a
misrepresentation was made and that you relied upon that misrepresentation. You
must be able to show that you sustained damages or some loss as a result of
this misrepresentation.
This may be expressly included in written documents or could be established
through witnesses who observed the misrepresentation. In many situations, the
salesperson and dealership will deny the fraud, so it is important to find
evidence that will rebut their denial.
