How do I prove fraud in a business litigation case? – Perez Mayoral

Proving fraud in a business litigation case requires a detailed, fact-driven analysis, with the most common claim being fraudulent inducement—where one party lies to convince another to enter a contract or hand over money. To prove this, you must show that the other party made a knowingly false statement with the intent to mislead you, that you relied on that statement, and that it caused you harm. Key evidence includes what was said, when and how it was communicated (email, text, verbal), and why it was false. You also need to prove they knew it was false at the time and intentionally withheld the truth to manipulate the outcome. Carefully documenting every instance of fraud and deceit is critical, and it’s wise to consult with an attorney to evaluate your legal options.
